Father accused of raping and molesting daughter would walk around home naked and watch pornography in front of his children, Hong Kong court hears
- ‘He did not wear anything at home … fully naked, not even underpants,’ daughter, now 18, tells High Court
- Father has denied five counts of rape and two of indecent assault
A father accused of molesting and raping his daughter since she was six years old would walk around the family home naked and watch pornography in front of his children, a Hong Kong court heard on Thursday.
The father, known as L.S.L first forced his daughter to touch his genitals, senior public prosecutor Jasmine Ching told jurors at the High Court on the first day of his trial.
When the daughter was nine, he raped her for the first time, then another four times in the next three years, Ching added.
The 64-year-old denied five counts of rape and two of indecent assault between 2006 and 2011. The daughter, now 18, was then between six and 11 years old.
If the defendant is found not guilty of the rape charges, the jury will be instead asked to consider five counts of incest.
All the alleged incidents took place in the family’s flat in Kowloon. Ching did not reveal the exact location to protect the identity of the daughter, referred to as X in court.
