HK is really screw up place. Now, the unprofessional Models "Ling Mo" with no brains. Just the attractive body and then you got another type of entertainment.
I don't understand this case at all. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I thought that in Hong Kong, if you were 18 or above, you were considered an adult. If that is true, then why is there a case at all? She was 19 at the time and made a lot of stupid decisions for the sake of her career. So the guy took advantage of her stupidity. Where's the crime? Would it have made any difference if she didn't give him any money? Lastly, what kind of sexual acts were unlawful? From what was described, they sound like normal sexual acts to me. Or maybe in Hong Kong, these are not considered normal? If so, it's no wonder birth rates are down and single guys won't commit to marriage :-)
I wish I could find a beautiful model who would do that for me. To be safe, I guess I'll have to take her outside Hong Kong juristiction so that I can help her with her career :-)
On the basis of the facts as published this sort of case simply brings the legal system into disrepute - the only possible offence could be if the girl is mentally handicapped; otherwise if this is felt to be a widespread problem then the age of consent for Chinese needs to be raised to the age where people actually grow up (about 30 in my experience with many local women).
If this guy is found guilty then I think many of us should go and turn ourselves in for use of the "of course I'll love you forever" line, knowing it to be completely untrue.
