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.

“He said my breasts were soft so I would sweat more easily,” she told a court from behind a screen and through an interpreter. “[He said] if he does this, it would make my breasts more firm and less likely to sweat.” The helper, who is married, said she could not afford to lose her job because she has a family to support in Indonesia and debts to repay to her employment agency.West Kowloon Court heard the helper came to Hong Kong for the first time in 2017 after she was hired by Lie’s daughter-in-law to care for her family at a Mei Foo Sun Chuen flat in Lai Chi Kok.She was asked to clean Lie’s home while the family was travelling in June 2017.
