Indonesian domestic helper ‘raped twice by Hong Kong employer’ kept evidence of attack on underwear, court told
- Prosecutor says assaults took place within two weeks of woman beginning her employment with accused
A foreign domestic worker kept traces of her employer’s semen to expose him after he raped her twice, a Hong Kong court heard on Friday.
After being assaulted for a second time, the Indonesian helper transferred the bodily fluid she claimed Tsang Wai-sun left on her on to her underwear and reported the incident to police, prosecutor Sabrina See told the High Court.
The clothing was taken for forensic examination and ejaculate was found, See revealed on the first day of the trial.
Opening her case, the prosecutor said Tsang, 55, had molested the 27-year-old helper on two other occasions before going on to rape her – with all the attacks happening in the space of two weeks after the helper, referred to as X in court, started work at Tsang’s home on December 10, 2017.
Tsang has denied two counts of rape and two other counts of indecent assault. But See said the unemployed man made his move as soon as X started working for the family.
The helper was told on her arrival she would be sharing a bed with Tsang’s 12-year-old daughter in her room, which was to be kept unlocked at all times, See said.
