(Fairfax Media) Hoang abused the trust that three families had placed in him to teach their daughters, crown prosecutor Alex Morris said during openings in the judge-alone trial. Between May 2011 and March 2013, he allegedly molested two sisters, one of whom was aged between three and five years old and the other between six and seven.
