Only 17 years old, the accused was sentenced by Judge Hsiao who sought to discourage blissful young love.
The accused youth, said to be the son of a sweet shop manager, met the 15-year old Miss Ho Hui-tze about three weeks ago at the Wing On Skating Rink. They later went to a cabaret where they had a happy time together, but the boy was so adventurous as to take the girl to a hotel where they stayed for several days without the knowledge of their parents.
It so happened that on May 29 when he was walking in Avenue Joffre he was seen by one of the girl's friends who saw the youth making love to her friend on the rink and who knew that her friend had been absent from home and school for several days. She had him arrested.
