Mr Winston Zhou

at 18:
45

on October 31, 2012,

in Rm 3610 on 36/F

of Chinese Liaison Building,

you were suspected of violating Section 122

of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong

by indecently assaulting

a 25-year-old piano teacher Jane Li

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Winston Zhou

How do you plead?

Not guilty

Join Tina's birthday party

William has swimming lessons on Sundays

Oh, I see

Shirley has painting lessons

Never mind. I've written the invites anyway

Thank you

I'll give them to you first

Thank you, so beautiful

Yes, it's so delicate and beautiful

The show starts now

Tina!

OK! That's it for today's rehearsal

Let's do it again next week!

Say goodbye to your teacher

Bye

Mrs Zhou, there are reporters outside

Mrs Zhou,

do you believe Mr Zhou is innocent?

Mrs Zhou, do you believe...

Say a few words!

Little girl, has your dad and Ms Li

done anything irregular?

Hey! You're too much! Get out of our way!

Mrs Zhou...

Mrs Zhou, say a few words

Ms Li is here!

Make way please!

First Trial

Hi, Tim! I've heard so much about you

I'm Freddy

Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you

I've heard so much about you

I feel as if we've known each other for ages

Yes

Is that so?

I know your dad

was a famous prosecutor too

I've studied many of his cases

He was my idol at school

I'm so glad I can go

to trial against his son today

Pleased to meet you

Court!

Your Honor,

the Prosecution calls

as witness Sergeant John Li

Sergeant Li,

can you describe the event to us?

According to Ms Jane Li's statement,

at 18:
20

on October 31, 2012,

she went to the defendant's clinic for checkup

When the defendant conducted the checkup,

he illegally touched her breasts

and lower body

On the floor and on the bed

in the crime scene,

we collected

both parties' DNA and finger prints

Both parties' statements

and the injury reports

indicate prima facie evidence

can be established

We therefore decided

to prosecute the defendant

Sergeant Li

during the entire alleged indecent assault,

were there any eye witnesses?

In most cases of indecent assault,

there are no...

Please just answer "yes" or "no"

No

In other words,

the police based their judgement entirely

on Ms Li's statement

and some circumstantial evidence.

Is that correct?

You can say so

In fact, the evidence you have mentioned,

only suggests that they had physical contacts

It doesn't imply

Dr Zhou has assaulted Ms Li

Can I say that?

You can

Let me ask another question

Why is the police so certain

the evidence is enough for prosecution?

Is it because...

the plaintiff

is a young girl on a wheelchair?

Are you so eager

to protect the underprivileged

that you decide the accused

must have violated Ms Li?

Am I correct?

Your Honor,

objection. The question is leading

Your Honor,

no further questions

Ms Law, what happened

on the day of the incident?

That day our class was delayed

So I telephoned Dr Zhou that we'll be late

and I accompanied Jane to the clinic

After Jane Li entered Dr Zhou's room,

were you present at the scene?

No, I waited for her outside

Did you hear any sounds

from the room?

I seem to have heard someone cry

How did it sound like?

Did it sound like Ms Li crying for help?

I'm not sure

I watched that drama

you had been watching

During the exact time of the alleged incident,

the two leads were having a fierce argument

They shouted vehemently

Are you sure the sounds came from the room?

When Ms Li exited the clinic,

did she mention to you

that Dr Zhou had molested her?

No

But her eyes were red, as if she had cried

Could Ms Li have red eyes because

she had worked hard and was tired?

Objection!

No more questions, Your Honor

Ms Lin, were you present throughout

Ms Li's checkup?

I was there at the beginning

Then a patient who just left

the clinic called,

saying he had left his meds

The meds were for his asthma

and he's an elderly

I thought I ought to give him the meds asap

When you returned to the clinic,

was Dr Zhou still examining Ms Li?

When I returned to the clinic,

I found Ms Li having fallen on the ground

I immediately helped her get up

What happened?

If you are a patient now,

and a male doctor is examining your body,

and there are just the two of you in the room,

if you feel something wrong,

would you terminate the checkup?

I would

What if the doctor would not stop?

I would get up

and leave immediately

If, unfortunately,

your feet cannot move?

What would you do?

You would struggle desperately,

using your upper body to push him off

and flee

But too bad your feet cannot move

Eventually, you fall down from the bed

Your Honor,

when a doctor examines a patient,

he is not legally required

to have a nurse present

I have 38 letters from patients

who have been seeing Dr Zhou

over the years,

testifying to his professional

and moral integrity

Your Honor, according to Exhibit P7 supplied

by the Prosecution,

namely Ms Li's medical report,

the sex organs in Ms Li's lower body

could be as sensitive

as those of ordinary people.

Ms Jane Li

When Dr Zhou's hand approached your breasts,

did you protest?

Yes, I did

When he continued the checkup,

did you feel the defandant place his finger

inside your sex organ?

Yes

Did you indicate resistance?

Yes

Did he stop in accordance

with your indication?

No

The more I struggled,

the harder he grabbed me

Then the phone rang

And he stopped

Do you know who called him?

What else did he say?

Hello?

Yes, we just finished the checkup

Wife, I'll be back for dinner very soon.

Wait for me

OK, bye

And then,

I wanted to take the opportunity to escape

but fell down from the bed

The nurse entered the room

She saw me and helped me get up

All right

I want to ask you another question

Did Dr Zhou employ you?

Or did Mrs Zhou?

They employed me together

Can you elaborate?

Eve introduced us

This couple

wanted me to give

their kid piano lessons at home

Mr Zhou said he could arrange transportation

I already explained the problem

with the pedal

They think it's all right for a beginner

You mean to say that...

Dr Zhou took the initiative to employ you

and even offered you transportation

Is that correct?

Yes

Your Honor,

I have no further questions

Ms Li

After the nurse left,

did Dr Zhou continue the checkup?

Yes

He said, "Let's continue"

How did he continue the checkup?

He started pressing different parts of my body

before putting his hand on my breasts

Breasts?

When you said breasts,

did you mean here?

No, a bit lower

So you were referring to the lower chest,

right?

No, yes...

Have you had physical checkup before?

No

So what criteria did you use to judge...

Dr Zhou's checkup?

I could feel being molested

I felt uncomfortable

I knew he was molesting me

What had Dr Zhou done

to make you uncomfortable?

He took my panties...
