Police arrested a 35-year-old man surnamed Cheung on August 16 over allegations involving a 14-year-old female employee at a maid café in Mong Kok. He was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault of a girl under 16 and using, procuring or offering a person under 16 for a live pornographic performance. The allegations have not been determined by a court.
The girl reportedly started working at the café on August 7 and reported the case to police on August 14.
Sing Tao Headline reported, citing sources, that the girl was allegedly indecently assaulted twice within about a week of starting work, and that photographs were taken. The report did not give the exact dates, times or details of the alleged incidents, and the claims remain unproven in court.
The case is being investigated by the second team of the Mong Kok district crime squad. The report did not say whether the man had been charged, brought before a court or released on bail.
It also did not provide details of the photographs, including who took them or whether they were connected to the second suspected offence. No full response from police or the café was provided in the report, and the investigation is continuing.
