Power, secrecy: Hong Kong advocates on why church sex abuse cases take time to surface
An imbalance of power in churches, a culture of secrecy and the misuse of theology are among the significant barriers victims face in reporting sexual abuse cases, advocates have said, after a retired Hong Kong pastor was arrested in connection with an assault on a minor in the 1990s. Advertisement An NGO and a Christian group on Sunday called on religious groups to establish sexual harassment policies, noting that sexually abused children took 13 years on average to seek help. They also urged authorities to review legislation on sex offences to help encourage more survivors to come forward. Doris Chong Tsz-wai, executive director of RainLily, said child victims of sexual abuse often took time to report their cases as it was difficult for them to immediately comprehend what had happened, especially in religious settings. 'The high authority and status of church pastors make it especially hard for a child to grasp the situation and speak out,' she said. Advertisement 'Some may also be confused as to whether it was an act of harm or care … until they grow up and realise they have been taken advantage of.'

US arrests another Chinese scientist with no permit to send biological material
A Chinese scientist was arrested while arriving in the US at Detroit airport, the second case in days involving the alleged smuggling of biological material, authorities said on Monday. Advertisement The scientist is accused of shipping biological material months ago to staff at a laboratory at the University of Michigan. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in a court filing, described it as material related to certain worms and requires a government permit. 'The guidelines for importing biological materials into the US for research purposes are stringent, but clear, and actions like this undermine the legitimate work of other visiting scholars,' said John Nowak, who leads field operations at US Customs and Border Protection. The scientist was interviewed and arrested on Sunday after arriving on a flight from China, where she is pursuing an advanced degree at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan. She planned to spend a year completing a project at the University of Michigan. Her shipments, including an envelope stuffed inside a book, were intercepted last year and earlier this year and opened by authorities, the FBI said. Advertisement The court filing does not indicate whether the FBI believes the biological material was dangerous, though US Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jnr said smuggling 'threatens our security'.

Slain Hong Kong model Abby Choi ‘took advantage' of rich husband, court hears
The former mother-in-law of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung feared the model's disappearance two years ago would expose how the deceased had financially exploited her wealthy husband, a court has heard. Jenny Li Sui-heung, 65, told the District Court on Monday that she thought it was 'shameful' to talk to police about the 'chaotic' relationship between Choi, her husband Chris Tam and ex-husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi after the model went missing on February 21, 2023. The defendant, who has pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice, denied trying to mislead officers by feigning ignorance about her son while knowing he was wanted in connection with a 2015 theft case involving HK$6.3 million (US$803,200) in gold and jewellery. Li maintained that she evaded officers' inquiries because she felt their questions about Choi's family situation were 'redundant'. The defendant said she also feared she would unwittingly divulge how Choi and Kwong purportedly took advantage of Tam for personal gain. She said in an earlier court session that the pair would take Tam to casinos and asked for 'commissions' in return and alleged that Choi exaggerated her husband's medical expenses when seeking reimbursement from his father, who is the founder of the popular restaurant chain TamJai Yunnan Mixian. 'I had a skeleton in the closet. It was shame on my family,' Li said. 'I didn't like how Alex and my former in-law acted, but I didn't consider it something I should feel guilty about.'
