在三月「光復元朗」行動中受傷的女文員吳麗英,因被控「用胸襲警」被重判監禁三個半月,事件再受國際傳媒關注,香港法院再「揚威海外」。
吳麗英及三位在行動中被控的人士被判刑後,消息再被《時代雜誌》(《TIME》)跟進,以題目"A Hong Kong Woman Got Sentenced for Assaulting a Police Officer With Her Breast"(港女被指用胸襲警判收監)轉載,並有提及暫委裁判官陳碧橋聲稱定罪後曾遭受威嚇。
吳麗英及三名被告於7月16日被判罪,當時《時代雜誌》網上版亦有報道事件,並在文章開首及結尾註明,直至吳被判罪,有關方面仍未有公布受襲警員的傷勢。

==========
The woman has been released on bail pending an appeal
A young woman in Hong Kong has been sentenced to jail for three and a half months for assaulting a senior police officer with her breast during a protest over cross-border trading, the South China Morning Post reports.
Ng Lai-ying, 30, was convicted early in July and was sentenced on Thursday. The authorities have suggested that Ng pushed against the officer with her breast in order to accuse him of indecent assault in what deputy magistrate Michael Chan Pik-kiu termed an inappropriate use of her “female identity.”
According to the Post, Chan told the court that he had to hand down a deterrent sentence in case “the public might mistakenly think it is a trivial matter to assault police officers during protests.” He also said that he had received threats in connection with the case.
Ng, who was remanded two weeks ago with three other defendants, has been released on bail pending an appeal, the Post reports.
