A maid agreed to have sex with her employer's 14-year-old son after the pair watched pornographic films on the internet together, a court heard yesterday.
They continued having sex for five months after that, but when the boy wanted to end their sexual relationship, the maid, a 45-year-old divorcee and mother of two boys, refused. At her request, they had sex three more times over the next few weeks.
Eventually the boy, who had no previous sexual experience, sent the leader of a Christian group he attended a text message confessing to the relationship and asking what to do.
They met the next day, after which the Christian leader told the boy's mother what had happened.
Police were called in and the maid was arrested later the same day, prosecutor Alex Ng told the District Court.
The maid, Suwartin, who has worked for the boy's extended family for 11 years, pleaded guilty yesterday to five charges of committing an indecent act with an under-age child between August and January.
She pleaded not guilty to three similar charges, which Judge Andrew Chan Hing-wai ordered left on file after the prosecution decided not to proceed on them.
