Prosecutors found seven sex videos of underage girls on Huang’s hard disk during an investigation.

HONG KONG : The Hong Kong government has urged the public not to come into contact with monkeys or feed them, after a person who was attacked by a monkey tested positive for a rare case of the herpes simiae virus, also known as B virus.

The man's cerebrospinal fluid specimen tested positive for B virus by the CHP laboratory on Wednesday . “When encountering monkeys, members of the public should avoid eating in front of monkeys, and avoid direct eye contact with monkeys to prevent it from being perceived as a provocative behaviour,” a spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said in a statement on Thursday.

“In the event of being bitten or scratched by a monkey, immediate medical assistance should be sought.”
