216, Prince Edward Road.

KOWLOON.

20th. February, 1971.

The Solicitor eneral,

Ben, Kong.

Sir,

Your facetious letter of 16th. February helps nothing in this rape case. I wanted a serious enquiry about a serious matter, but you are just picking out some point to try to avoid the real issue.

Since two cases are said to have been traced to one man, it is quite to the point to ask how long your Department is going to collaborate with the police and allow this man to rape girls. Unless you can prove that you haf good reason to believe this man was innocent, large doubts must remain, both against the men and the Government Departments concerned.

I suppose you will not go so far as to say that this girl was not rape? and that it is usual for girls to have children at the age of 12 13 without the need of the law to take action; then surely you must admit someone was guilty, and if not this man, who?

Would you kindly tell me what has been done to find out who raped this little girl? If you cannot answer privately or should I say WILL not I shall ask the question publicly. certainly the innocent child's.

I know whose side the public will be on

I wonder if you would treat the matter so much as a joke if the girl were your daughter or even, if she were of your own race?

Yours truly,

"
