MAN DENIES BLACKMAIL IN 'UNDERAGE-SEX' PLOT

A man has denied trying to blackmail a businessman for $10 million after allegedly arranging sexual services for him with his 'underage' girlfriend. The Court of First Instance heard Wong Chun-kit, 28, arranged for a man known only as Mr X to meet a girl in Mongkok on January 22 last year. A sexual act allegedly took place, after which the girl kept a sample of his semen on tissue paper. A man and a woman then burst in claiming to be her aunt and uncle and accusing Mr X of rape, saying the girl was under 16, the court heard. Mr X was told to pay $10 million, but the price dropped to $40,000. The trial continues.
