21st. December, 1970.
I refer again to the case of the young gir?
wman, at present in the Queen Elizabeth
Hospital awaiting surgery to deliver her child resulting from vape.
kak,' was
I have now cgathered that the man they accuse,
formerly accused in another case in the Western District of Hong Kong (Sai Ying Poon). I am told that the girl and her mother in that case reported to the Saiyingpoon Police some time in 1968, but the case never
reached the court.
If the report is correct, it seems that a great injustice is being
done, with the support of your department, to young girls working for this
company.
I wonder if it has occurred to you that there is little need to have courts in Hong Kong, if, as I have found by investigation, the police may send case files to your department when they "think" the case will not stand up in court, and based upon the evidence in those files your department can
stop the case going to court. I gained this information from a European
policeman in: a high position. He was not criticizing, but just explaining.
In that case, the police can put what they wish into the files, knowing
that the victims are unlikely to be given a hearing. This prevents any lawyer from delving further into a case to find the facts against the
accused.
I 2M
shocked that this passes for justice.
Would you please consider and see if it is correct that this is at least the second girl to accuse the employer's son of rape.
