Not guilty. This was the verdict in the case against a Filipino
software company executive charged with three counts of indecent assault
against a 13-year-old fellow passenger during a flight from New Zealand to Hong Kong
last December.
Rodolfo Domingo Jr’s acquittal on Apr 23 in
Magistrate Edward Wong said the prosecution did not have

The magistrate cleared the Filipino on all three charges.
Domingo, who had been out on bail but was not allowed to
leave Hong Kong since his arrest on Dec 9,
2018, immediately left the courtroom with his private lawyers and friends after
the verdict.
The magistrate cited the boy’s own admission in his evidence
from New Zealand
via an audio-video linkup that he was asleep when the alleged indecent assaults
took place, leaving room for doubt.
Domingo and the boy were seated next to each other on an Air
New Zealand flight from Auckland to Hong Kong on Dec 8-9 last year. The boy claimed he was awakened
three times when the defendant put his hand on his knee, and then on to his private
part.
On the third occasion, the boy complained to his parents who
were seated nearby, and Domingo was arrested on arrival at Hong Kong International
Airport .
The incident allegedly happened as the boy was traveling
home with his family during a school
break.
