A 77-year-old Hong Kong coach accused of sexually assaulting a teenage athlete during a massage eight years ago was acquitted on Friday in what was the first #MeToo case brought to courts in Hong Kong.
Principal Magistrate Ernest Lin Kam-hung said at the Fanling Magistrates’ Courts that there was reasonable doubt in the athlete’s evidence against the coach, identified only by his initials W.H.
