Hui's reputation was tainted by an incident that allegedly occurred on January 2, 2007. He was accused of indecently assaulting an air hostess dressed in her uniform on board an airport bus on theA10 route. The prosecution alleged that he fondled the thigh of the air hostess deliberately. Hui pleaded not guilty in the first trial on January 12, 2007 and the judge granted a request to delay the trial so that Hui could sit for the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination. [11] [12]

His case sparked controversy because of his prominence and his frequent appearance on local mass media. His second trial was scheduled to begin on May 14, 2007.
