A 47-year-old woman has been jailed four months by Sha Tin Magistracy for employing four Mainland visitors to work in her massage centre.

Hung Wai-chau pleaded guilty to four counts of being the employer of a person not lawfully employable. She was given four months jail for each charge, to run concurrently.

On June 21 Immigration officers raided a Tai Po massage centre where they found the Mainlanders working as masseuses. As the centre's proprietor, Hung admitted her knowledge of the women's visitor status when engaging them to work for her.

The four admitted to one count each of breaching their conditions of stay and were sentenced to six weeks jail on June 23.
