A driver who shared a bedroom with his girlfriend and her 15-year-old daughter made advances to the teenager in the middle of the night.
The 33-year-old man went too far and was jailed for six weeks yesterday for outraging her modesty.
He cannot be named as it could lead to the identification of the victim.
On May 10 last year, she was lying on the floor of the bedroom sending text messages to a friend.
At 1am, her mother’s lover got off the bed and lay next to her.
He hugged and kissed her cheek before kissing her lips and slipping his tongue into her mouth.
He French-kissed her again and licked her ears before returning to bed.
The court heard that the victim, a secondary school student who has two younger siblings, was too afraid to resist or cry out.
That morning, she called her father, who has been divorced from her mother since 2004. He went over and beat up the man.
The fight prompted a neighbour to call the police, who then found out about the molestation accusations.
Their probe revealed that the driver had been in a relationship with the victim’s mother since 2007 and had moved into her Whampoa flat in June 2009.
Asking for a jail sentence, Deputy Public Prosecutor Agnes Chan said the molestation was not “fleeting” but went on for eight minutes.
Agreeing, District Judge See Kee Oon said the young victim had been subjected to “prolonged, unwanted advances”.
The maximum sentence for outraging modesty is two years’ jail with a fine and caning.
