    I doubt there was as much outroar as described in the article as that would require some level of introspection and ability to critique ones own actions which, as a whole, the force don't have. They seem to have their own "do not split"

    Replaced:

    Assistant commissioner of police Andrew Kan Kai-yan has been promoted to director of the national security department, replacing former director Frederic Choi Chin-pang, who was embroiled in a massage parlor scandal in March last year.

    A recent update on the police force's website noted that the promotion took place in December last year, four months after Choi was transferred and relocated to director of personnel and training of the force.

    Kan and another assistant commissioner, Kelvin Kong Hok-lai, have been the acting directors of the department since Choi's August transfer.

    Wan said only premises used primarily or exclusively for prostitution could be considered vice establishments, making it hard to prove all or most rooms in the parlor were used for the rendering of sexual services.

    "Of about 10 random visits during the relevant period of time, sexual services were being offered on about half of the occasions," he said. "One can hardly say it is mainly used for vice."

    Choi, 52, was found with a woman inside one of the rooms during a police raid last March 19.

    He was stripped of his post and reassigned as head of personnel and training.

    Choi also faced a civil service disciplinary hearing but police found no evidence to suggest he committed illegal or immoral acts.

    Choi had told the court he was never offered sexual services in the four to five visits he made to the parlor since mid-2020.

    A little hard to take at face value.

    Did anyone ask what the ratio of male / female customers was and cross relate that other known vice establishments?

    That would be like cross referencing people who wear all black and implying that they are of a certain inclination... doubt it would hold up in court. Not like their excuse that they were solicited only 50% of the time so it cannot be considered a vice establishment makes sense ...

    Glad the poor man was vindicated. The fact that they were apparently advertising is neither here nor there. As every HK jurist says, politics doesn’t belong in court.

    Not really. The clientele profile has long been a key indicator for illicit behavior in various industries.

    The purpose of the raid is quite clear and the outcome is already a success. The establishment was merely a victim/byproduct of the raid.
