A judge has called a Hong Kong incest victim a “beacon of courage” to other girls for standing up to her abusive father, who was jailed for 17½ years on Wednesday.

The 59-year-old truck driver sexually assaulted his daughter from the age of nine in a campaign of abuse spanning 13 years, the High Court heard.
