Hong Kong teenager has abortion following allegations she was gang-raped in police station, but force says investigation shows inconsistencies
- Police confirm a lawyer reported case to Complaints Against Police Office, claiming his client was raped inside Tsuen Wan Police Station
- But source insider says her descriptions of police station and setting of the room also fail to match reality
A Hong Kong teenager who claims she was gang-raped in a police station in a report filed by her lawyer in October, had an abortion on Friday, but police say their investigations do not match the allegations.
“The allegation is serious. The case has been passed to the New Territories South regional crime squad for investigation,” a police statement said on Saturday evening.
“But so far, the contents made in the allegation do not match with our findings. We will continue the probe.”
A picture showing a police officer outside a medical ward has been circulated widely online since Friday. The accompanying post claimed a 16-year-old teenage girl who had been arrested had aborted her baby in Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei that day.
Police confirmed that a lawyer reported the case to the Complaints Against Police Office (Capo) on her behalf on October 22, claiming his client was raped inside Tsuen Wan Police Station on September 27.
A source with knowledge of the case confirmed the abortion had taken place.
