Man, 81, jailed for attempted rape

An 81-year-old man was jailed for two years yesterday after he pleaded guilty to one count of attempted rape of his domestic helper. The Court of First Instance heard that the offence took place when Wong Pak-sum and the victim, 36, were alone on October 10 inside the Tai Po flat where Wong's son and daughter-in-law also lived. Deputy High Court Judge Kim Longley said the term was lenient because of Wong's age.
