Ex-taekwondo champ, wife fined for corruption & vice

Wong Jing Ching, alias Patrick Champion Wong, 40, a 1993 South East Asia Games taekwondo gold medallist was fined a total of $29,000 on Friday for corruption and vice-related offences.

Wong's wife, Shirinbekova Yelena, 23, an Uzbekistan national, was also fined $8,000 for living on the immoral earnings of a prostitute, and helping him to manage a contact point for prostitutes in 2010.

He admitted to eight charges with 17 others taken into consideration during his sentencing. Three of them were for living on the immoral earnings of a Uzbekistan prostitute, receiving the 21-year-old prostitute at the airport, and managing a place of assignation at Landmark Village Hotel between April 29 and June 2 2010.

The offences were uncovered on June 1 2010, when Wong asked plainclothes police officers near Orchard Towers if they were interested in sexual services provided by 'Russian prostitutes'. He ferried them in his taxi to the Victoria Street hotel and led them to a room to view the five Uzbekistan prostitutes.

Shortly after, a team of police officers raided the room and detained Wong and the women.
