The sports arena broke the #Metoo incident.

The famous long-distance running coach Ji Jiawen was involved in the sexual harassment incident. Ji Jiawen posted an "apology" on his Facebook page, saying that he "didn't take and deal with relationship problems seriously."

The Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association issued a statement today (17th) stating that it is extremely concerned about the incident and appeals to athletes not to be dumb and tolerate, and to seek help or report to the Association.

The police appeal to any victims of crimes to report to the police, and the police will conduct appropriate investigations and follow up.

Some lawyers pointed out that, whether indecent or assault, physical contact without consent can constitute an assault and is a criminal offence.

A senior police officer pointed out that if it is not for the release of photos, videos, etc., without independent evidence, it is difficult for the police to take the initiative to investigate. Therefore, the informant must show up and make a statement. No matter how long the incident occurs, the police will collect environmental evidence based on the relevant confession.

It is understood that the police will contact relevant organizations to appeal for referral of complaints.

Lawyer Xiong Yunxin stated that physical contact without consent can constitute an assault, regardless of indecent or assault, and is a criminal offence. After the police initiates a criminal investigation, "out-of-court settlement" is not allowed. The police are responsible for searching evidence and deciding whether to prosecute and report the case. The victim has the responsibility to be a witness for the prosecution and help complete the prosecution. "If you have nothing to say, I suddenly don't want to sue."

Lawyer: Cases involving violations of good faith will be more serious

Xiong Yunxin pointed out that if the case involves a violation of integrity, it "undermines the relationship of trust and professional ethics." That is to say, the case will be more serious if it is carers, relatives, teachers and students, coaches and apprentices, doctors and patients.

In the recent #MeToo movement, many people exposed their experience of sexual assault on the Internet.

Tai Yunxin said that even if the accused person "publicly denies, apologizes or responds in any way", it will not have any impact on the criminal investigation, but if it becomes a court case, the relevant words and deeds may be considered by the accused as evidence.

In the case of a civil claim, it is necessary to prove that the perpetrator caused substantial losses, such as incurring medical expenses, causing mental illness, etc., and the victim must prove that the loss was caused by the violation.

Therefore, the informant must show up and make a statement. No matter how long the incident occurs, the police will collect environmental evidence based on the relevant confession.
