Wu Shuo learned that, according to Sing Tao Daily, two mainland men with double-entry permits (27-year-old business consultant Wang Bochuan and 24-year-old sales assistant Xu Zilan), were originally charged with raping a woman at the Mong Kok Rui Jing Hotel on November 4, 2025.

The prosecution applied to withdraw the charges at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court on April 18 and was approved.
The two defendants have been remanded since mid-November last year.
The prosecution had opposed one of the defendant's legal fee application, arguing that both admitted to having had sexual relations with the complainant and delayed providing phone passwords, "self-incriminating," but the acting chief magistrate believed the defendants did not self-incriminate and ultimately approved the legal fees.
Earlier reports indicated that both parties previously worked at ME (formerly MetaEra) in BD positions.
