Hong Kong authorities concerned over alleged secret filming of pupil in Shenzhen

Hong Kong education authorities have expressed serious concerns over the alleged secret filming of a 13-year-old boy by his classmates during a mainland study tour.

The incident reportedly took place in March of last year while pupils from a Kwai Chung school were on a study tour in Shenzhen, the Post has learned.

Classmates allegedly filmed the boy without clothes while he was showering in a hotel bathroom, with the video circulated among pupils and posted on social media platforms.

The boy’s parents filed a report to police last year. But they reportedly got back in contact with the force recently after discovering that related images had been uploaded to social media.

According to media reports, police received the complaint in March last year and the case was handled by a Kwai Tsing district investigation team.

Following an investigation, a 14-year-old boy was reportedly arrested the following month on April 15 on suspicion of unlawful recording or observation of intimate parts.
