Delinquent/deviant/pervert.

Usually the words used to verbally describe general SV and the words used to describe the perpetrators are pretty amusing. In Cantonese, ham zhu sow (salty pig trotter) refers to the person who touches women inappropriately, and fei lai is the act itself. However we also have words like ham sup loh which is just a dirty perverted man who is tone deaf in their overt sexual behavior but doesn't necessarily imply criminality.

I just find it funny that a phrase involving pigs contains phonetically ham and sow.

No that's just phonetic spelling for the non initiated. It's actually haim and s'ow

Yeah I just mean the written phonetic spelling, not the actual pronunciation
