Filipino domestic helper accuses Hong Kong employer of indecently assaulting her five times in space of six days as wife and children slept in bedrooms
- The 43-year-old helper, identified only as X in court, testified to a series of incidents which escalated from obscene gestures to physical touches
- Lau Sui-wo, 45, pleaded not guilty to five counts of indecent assault
A Filipino domestic helper on Tuesday accused her former Hong Kong employer of traumatising her by indecently assaulting her on five occasions in six days, a court heard.
The 43-year-old helper, identified only as X in court, testified to a series of incidents which escalated from obscene gestures to physical touches in six days, after her then employer Lau Sui-wo, a 45-year-old clerk, pleaded not guilty to five counts of indecent assault.
“Because of what he did, I feel traumatised,” the helper testified through an interpreter.
Kowloon City Court heard the helper was about six months into her job caring for Lau’s household at Laguna Verde in Hung Hom when the first assault allegedly took place on July 31 last year.
X said she was cleaning the furniture at 6am when Lau exposed himself while his wife and children were asleep in the bedrooms.
