### 案件基本資料 - 案件名稱：香港特別行政區 訴 莊劍明（第一被告人）及 郭振弘（第二被告人） - 法院：區域法院 (District Court) - 法官：韋漢熙 (Acting District Judge Wai Hon Hei) - 判決日期：2025年3月12日 ### 案情摘要 本案涉及兩名成年男子對一名 9 至 11 歲女童 X 的性侵犯。第一被告人莊劍明於 2021 年在網上結識 X，將其帶回住所進行性交並錄影。第二被告人郭振弘於 2023 年在網上結識 X，兩次與其見面，期間多次撫弄 X 胸部及將手指插入其私處，並以金錢及物質（如手機、紅包）利誘 X。 ### 核心法律爭議 本案為判刑程序，核心 legal issue 在於如何根據受害人年齡、年齡差距及犯罪手段確定適當的量刑起點 (sentencing starting point)。第一被告人涉及非法性交及製作兒童色情物品；第二被告人涉及兩項猥褻侵犯。辯方請求法庭考慮初犯、反省及家庭責任以獲得寬大處理。 ### 判決理由 法官引用 曾昭德案 及 黃龍威案 確立的原則，強調保護兒童是最高考慮因素，量刑須具阻嚇性。針對第一被告人，法官認為其錄影行為加重罪責，將非法性交量刑起點定為 3 年。針對第二被告人，法官認為其利用金錢哄騙且造成受害人痛楚，居心叵測，將每項猥褻侵犯量刑起點定為 21 個月。 ### 引用案例與條文 引用 HKSAR v Tsang Chiu Tak [2013] 1 HKLRD 422 及 SJ v Wong Lung Wai (CAAR 5/2008) 確立保護兒童及阻嚇原則；引用 SJ v Chung Yui Hung [2007] 2 HKLRD 771 及 HKSAR v Lee Lou [2012] 1 HKLRD 1106 關於年齡差距的量刑參考；引用 SJ v Man Kwong Choi [2008] 5 HKLRD 519 關於兒童色情物品分級之量刑指引。 ### 裁決與命令 第一被告人：非法性交及製作兒童色情物品兩罪刑期同期執行，總判監禁 2 年。第二被告人：兩項猥褻侵犯罪經認罪扣減後，總判監禁 17 個月（部分分期執行）。 ### 判決啟示 本案再次強調即使受害人看似「同意」或缺乏心理創傷報告，法庭仍不能忽視兒童在性侵犯中因年幼而處於被動地位，且必須對此類罪行採取嚴厲的阻嚇量刑。 --- ### 免責聲明 本摘要由人工智能自動生成，內容可能存在錯誤或遺漏，僅供參考，不構成法律意見。如需法律建議，請諮詢合資格律師。### Case Details - Case Name: HKSAR v Chuang Kim Ming (1st Defendant) and Kwok Chun Hung (2nd Defendant) - Court: District Court - Judge: Acting District Judge Wai Hon Hei - Date of Judgment: 12 March 2025 ### Factual Background Two men targeted a girl (X), aged 9-11. The 1st Defendant met X online, took her to his home, engaged in sexual intercourse, and recorded the act. The 2nd Defendant also met X online and, during two physical meetings, committed indecent assaults by touching her breasts and inserting fingers into her vagina, using money and gifts (e.g., a mobile phone) as inducements. ### Key Legal Issues The primary legal issue was determining the appropriate sentencing starting points for child sexual abuse. The court had to balance the defendants' pleas of guilt and personal circumstances against the gravity of the offences, the age gap between the defendants and the victim, and the predatory nature of the conduct. ### Ratio Decidendi The judge applied the principle that protecting children is the paramount consideration. For the 1st Defendant, the act of recording the intercourse was an aggravating factor, leading to a 3-year starting point for unlawful intercourse. For the 2nd Defendant, the use of deception and material inducements, coupled with the physical pain caused to the victim, justified a starting point of 21 months per count of indecent assault. ### Key Precedents & Statutes HKSAR v Tsang Chiu Tak [2013] and SJ v Wong Lung Wai (CAAR 5/2008) for deterrence and child protection principles; SJ v Chung Yui Hung [2007] and HKSAR v Lee Lou [2012] regarding age gaps; and SJ v Man Kwong Choi [2008] for child pornography grading and sentencing. ### Decision & Orders 1st Defendant: Sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment (concurrently for both charges). 2nd Defendant: Sentenced to a total of 17 months' imprisonment (partially consecutive) for two counts of indecent assault. ### Key Takeaways The judgment underscores that a victim's apparent 'consent' or the absence of a psychological report does not mitigate the gravity of child sexual abuse, as children are inherently vulnerable and unable to truly consent to such acts. --- ### Disclaimer This summary is AI-generated and may contain errors or omissions.
