被指涉嫌紧抱、非礼女下属等,一名在教育机构任职的67岁高级公务员,面对的五项非礼控状不成立,但法官判他一项控状罪成。 为了保护两名女受害者身份,法庭下令媒体不得揭露他们的身份资料。法庭文件显示,这名高级公务员面对九项非礼控状,包括他在2016年2月到12月之间,紧抱一名55岁女下属,让对方的胸部紧贴他的身体。 此外,还抚摸一名43岁女同事手臂和大腿、亲吻左肩膀,以及用下体触碰女同事的肩膀等。 至少六项控状指被告在工作场所犯案,法官裁定,涉及43岁受害者的其中五项控状不成立,不过涉及55岁受害者的一项控状成立。 由于没有独立证人,法官需依靠受害者和被告证词是否可靠。不过43岁受害者口供和庭上供证不一致;至于55岁受害者证词可靠,控方证据确凿。 案件延至下月4日,让辩方律师求情后下判,此外仍有三项指控公务员在国外犯案的控状待处理。 非礼罪最高刑罚为监禁两年,或罚款,或鞭刑,或任何两项刑罚组合。 基于被告年龄超过50岁,因此豁免鞭刑。
