A domestic helper accused of stealing three photos of Jacky Cheung Hok-yau and his wife while working for the Canto-pop star told a court yesterday she was a fan of his and had only kept them as souvenirs.
But Preslyn-saga Catacutan, 30, admitted she had not sought her boss' permission to keep the private photos.
Catacutan has pleaded not guilty to two charges of theft.
The defendant, who is Filipino, is accused of stealing the photographs and a personal letter from Cheung's Repulse Bay penthouse between June and August, when the family was moving back into the house following renovations.
Cheung told Eastern Court yesterday that he had no idea why the defendant had taken the photographs.
'I never give away my personal photos to anyone,' Mr Cheung said.
