Woman convicted of assaulting a police officer with her breast in Hong Kong after she accused him of groping her during an anti-China protest

A woman has been sentenced to three and a half months in prison after being found guilty of using one of her breasts to assault a police officer.

Ng Lai-ying, 30, was at a protest in Hong Kong in March when she claimed chief inspector Chan Ka-po had groped her left breast when he tried to grab her bag.

But instead, a court said she had used her chest to bump against his arm, and 'used her female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested' her.

• Dozens of activists wearing bras took part in a 'breast walk' to protest the decision to imprison Ng Lai-ying, after she was found guilty of using her chest to assault a police officer during a demonstration

• Supporters of Ng Lai-ying gathered outside the police headquarter of Wan Chai for the demonstration
