San Francisco jurors convicted Henry Luong, 73, Monday on multiple charges stemming from repeated incidents of domestic violence against his partner between 2022 and 2024, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office said. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Luong was found guilty on two counts of domestic violence, one count of assault, one count of domestic battery, one count of elder abuse, and six counts of violation of criminal protective orders.
“I am grateful that justice has been served in this case,” Jenkins said. “This guilty verdict ensures that Mr. Luong will no longer be able to harm the victim.”Testimony and evidence presented in the trial showed that Luong’s abuse spanned years, starting in May 2022, according to the DA’s office. On May 1, 2022, the victim was attacked with a metal spaghetti strainer and broomstick upon returning from visiting her grandchildren, sustaining bloody, swollen hands as a result from trying to shield herself, according to the DA. Then on March 26, 2024, Luong insulted the victim, shoved her into a wall and caused her to fall to the ground, leading to injuries to her head, face and knee. Soon after, the victim sought a criminal protective order, which was granted, requiring Luong to stay 150 yards away from the victim and her residence. He was also prohibited from contacting the woman. But Luong ignored the court order, seeking out the victim on three separate occasions between September and October 28. On one of those occasions, Luong was detained by building security for violating the order. He also shone a light into the victim’s bedroom while shouting insults on one occasion, and later returned less than a week later, repeating the behavior.
“Domestic violence can escalate quickly into tragedy, and my office remains committed to preventing harm and keeping San Franciscans safe in their homes and across our city,” Jenkins said in a statement.”…
