The High Court trial of Y.L.H. continued on 2 September 2026, with witness E giving evidence behind a screen. She alleged that the defendant entered a bathroom while she was showering at an orientation camp on 28 August 2023 and pulled back the shower curtain, exposing her body. Y.L.H. denies one charge of rape, three charges of indecent assault and one charge of voyeurism involving five women.
E told the court that she had tested the bathroom lock after arriving at the camp room and found it was faulty. She said she had warned members of the group several times. While she was showering, the defendant allegedly rushed into the bathroom and pulled back the curtain. E said she screamed, after which he drew the curtain closed again and left.
E said the defendant later told her, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t wearing contact lenses, so I couldn’t see anything.” Other female group members heard her scream and asked what had happened, she said. E told them she was fine because, as a team leader, she believed she should remain calm.
During cross-examination, E said she had gone to Chai Wan Police Station to report the matter on 2 September, but alleged that police refused to accept the report. The reports supplied do not establish the year, explain why the report was allegedly refused or include a police response.
The court also heard separate allegations from complainant D. She had previously said that during water games, a campfire and activities in a room, the defendant squeezed her shoulder, brushed her thigh and put his foot between her legs. D said she moved away when he approached. The defence denied that he had done these things, saying he stayed on his bed during the conversation and did not approach D or put his foot between her legs. D disagreed.
After D’s cross-examination, the prosecution played a video-recorded police interview with the defendant. In the interview, he denied squeezing D’s shoulder or touching her thigh, saying he had done nothing and that she had falsely accused him. The trial is continuing, and the court has yet to decide the case.
