A former MTR Corporation employee has been jailed for 4½ years over a host of offences that included impersonating a Hong Kong police officer to solicit pornographic videos from teenage girls.

Deputy District Judge Merinda Chow Yin-chu on Friday called Fong Hung-shun, 36, a pervert who committed progressively more serious crimes over a two-year period – from taking upskirt videos to sending women demeaning messages and threats.

The District Court judge also noted Fong had breached the trust of his then employer, rail giant the MTR Corp, by abusing his position to obtain his victims’ personal information, and had contacted them using prepaid SIM cards in a calculated move that made it difficult for them and police to track him down.

“It was fortunate that the victims had the wisdom not to fall for his tricks,” the judge said. “I consider that a heavy sentence is necessary to deter the defendant from reoffending.”
