A Filipina domestic worker – convicted of indecent assaults on her employer’s son – was released from prison on Friday after the Court of Appeal ruled that she should be set free.
The Court of Appeal said the District Court judge who tried the case last year had made a decision contrary to evidence given by the boy, the Oriental Daily reported.
According to the judgement, the higher court judges allowed the appeal and quashed the conviction and set aside the defendant’s sentence.
Three Court of Appeal justices also held that the lower court judge was wrong in failing to properly consider the “inherent improbabilities” of the boy’s evidence, in particular his claim of having been coaxed by the domestic worker into full sexual penetration while his penis remained soft.
No retrial was sought.
The incidents happened between July 2011 and March 2013 when the domestic worker was accused of having sex with her employer’s son, who was only eight years old initially, in the employer’s home in Kwai Chung, the court heard earlier.
The boy told his parents he only began to understand he was having sex with the domestic worker when he learnt about animals mating in a science lesson at school when he was 12, Sing Pao reported.
The domestic worker denied the charges and said she was a lesbian.
Who would even believe about this kind of false accusation. The employers should be accountable for destroying the maids reputation and for the humiliation and sufferings she has gone through over the years.
so Immpossible..grave d naman gnyan ka bad dh pinay 8 years old
Kng ako c kbyan mg counter charge ako ng mbgyan dn ng lesson ung employer nyng baliw!
Yes kabayan magcounter charge ka bigyan ng leksyon ang mga abusadong amo. Go go go marami tayong inaapi sobra porke katulong tayo. May ppanlaban ka hingin mo ang danyos ng pagkakapiit mo at hingan ng public apology ang among yan para turuan ng wasto ang anak para di lumaking sinungaling kasama na rin ang bias na judge.
The truth prevails for the falsely accused innocent. God is so good!
this kind of employer much given also a drastic lesson for destroying the reputation of the maid is unfair her
Rubbish!
Pra nman maniac pag ganon abnormal mga chinise
Vice versa false accusation dpat gwin din nya s employer gnwa s knya wla nman clang mtibay n evidensya.
Thanks godness… From the first I don’t believe about that cased.. Gud luck friend..hope you be fine
Correct..dont judge people accoding to childrens accusation because mostly children here in hk is liar..they always blame all the fault to a maid
I agree……
SNA nga mg counter charge sya ….kasi grabe sakit akusahan ka ng Hindi to too tapos sexual thing pa….to bad
how about the damage you done to her is that all Free?when she got into prison her brother die after 3days when he hear the news,and that stupid son freak complain and she got prison 18 months,so how about the son he must go to prison to pay too 18month also so that he feel how to lock to prison stupid boy.
The maid should also sue the employer for the anguish, humiliation & imprisonment for a crime she did NOT commit. She is not the only one who suffered indignation & humiliation but her family as well & the Filipino people.
exactly
yes and the boy only 8yrs old that time you destroy the maid reputation omg
It is very impossible for a filipina maid to do that, what a nonsense accusation,,,,,
how can he ( boy 8 yrs. old) said that wherein I still put to shower my 10 yrs.old boy helping him putting hair shampoo while sitting naked in his bathtubs…his 8yrs. then made up a story when his 12yrs old. …mostly ( not all) hk kids with helper act like baby .
Most of the Chineses employers house are installed with surviellance cameras purposely to monitor every move of their maids around the house. and most of the employers even call and ask their children what the maid is doing… This kind of accussations is a complete lie.. Shame on the employer who did this to their maid…
I agree
