A man, described in a Chinese online media site as an African
recognizance holder, will appear in Eastern
Court tomorrow, charged with the alleged rape of a
Filipina domestic helper on Jul 1.
The alleged offence, which happened on the exit staircase of
a building on Li Yuen Street West ,
was captured on video by an unknown person, and was then freely circulated
online.
The 38-year-old Filipina who was reportedly drunk during the
time of the incident, went to the Central Police District a few days later to
complain about the alleged rape, as well as the uploading of the video on the
internet.
The newspaper report said the 36-year-old suspect was
arrested in Yuen Long on Friday, Jul 18, following an investigation by the
Police Anti-Triad Squad.
