A mother who forced her teenage daughter to strip at knifepoint and pose naked for photos in an effort to stop her being promiscuous was sentenced to two years' probation yesterday.
The single woman, identified as WKC, 40, had pleaded guilty in District Court to one count of ill-treating a young person in her custody and another of making child pornography.
But Judge Kwok Wai-kin said a custodial sentence would not be appropriate because the circumstances were "unique".
The court heard WKC had been driven to alcoholism by her daughter's promiscuity.
The girl had "non-stop" sexual relationships with men and spent one night last year in bed with two men and a woman.
The incident related to the charges took place last November after the girl had an abortion when she was just 15.
WKC threatened her with a 28cm knife and ordered her to take off her clothes.
