Hong Kong, Sep 3 (DPA) An expatriate professor was Thursday jailed for nine weeks for molesting two female students in his office at the University of Hong Kong.

Terence Shortall, 54, an associate professor of education at the university, was found guilty on two counts of indecent assault. He was also fined 5,000 Hong Kong dollars ($645).

At his sentencing at Hong Kong's Eastern Magistracy Thursday, magistrate William Lam told him he had taken advantage of his position to satisfy his sexual urges.

Lam added that Shortall had shown no remorse and had made his victims go to court and relive their 'terrifying experiences' after he entered not guilty pleas.

The professor's first victim, a 21-year-old student, testified how Shortall touched her back and inner thigh when she went to his office for help with her studies when she faced being kicked off her course.
