A preacher who showered with two 12 year old boys and helped one clean his penis has been cleared of indecent assault charges by a Hong Kong district court, the SCMP reports

The judge said that 48 year old Eric Wong Wai-ming was "unwise" and "incautious" in showering naked with children and touching their genitals. 

Acquitting Wong of all nine counts of indecent assault, Judge Josiah Lam Wai-kuen said the evidence given by the boys was contradictory and neither boy felt that Wong had molested them. Lam noted that there was no evidence that Wong had "gained sexual pleasure" from touching the boys. 

"Praise god," Wong said outside court.
