The court heard the defendant was dressed as a sexy woman when he met the undercover agent |
A Filipino gay tourist was jailed for two months today, Sept
4, after he admitted in Eastern
Court that he violated his condition of stay as a
visitor by soliciting sex for a fee.
M Arabejo II pleaded guilty when he was charged before
Magistrate Bina Chainrai two days after his arrest at the Best Western Hotel in
Causeway Bay by an undercover officer who
responded to an online advertisement offering sex for pay.
The officer reportedly called a telephone number that the
advertiser provided on Sept. 2 and he was directed to Room 1611 of the hotel on
Bowrington Road .
The prosecution said Arabejo, who was dressed as a woman in
a sexy outfit, opened the door and greeted the officer when he arrived at the
room at about 2pm. The defendant allegedly told him the fee for a full sex
service was $2,000.

When the defendant began to disrobe, the officer announced
he was a policeman and arrested him. Officers who searched the hotel room found
10 unused condoms and a bottle of KY gel.
During investigation, Arabejo was found to have arrived on a
visitor visa in Hong Kong on Mar 11 this year and
was permitted to remain until Sept 7.
The prosecutor said the defendant admitted the offense under
caution and was charged with breach of condition of stay.
Chainrai gave a two month’s discount on the defendant’s
sentence for his guilty plea.
