A Hong Kong magistrate has acquitted a government statistician, Patrick Lam Win-hon, of loitering causing concern despite describing his behavior of following and photographing a schoolgirl during an open day as 'highly suspicious'. The defendant admitted to police that he followed the girl because she reminded him of an old friend. The magistrate ruled that the defendant's conduct during the open day did not pose an actual threat to the girl, despite her feeling unsafe due to past encounters with him.
