Indonesian domestic helper accuses employer’s father-in-law of groping her


An Indonesian domestic helper on Tuesday accused her Hong Kong employer’s father-in-law of indecent assault for groping her on six occasions under the guise of improving her body odour, a court heard.

The 26-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said retiree Lie Hen-fang, 76, massaged her breasts for 15 to 30 minutes on each occasion over five days after presenting her with deodorant to address his family’s alleged complaints about her personal hygiene.
