An insurance agent was arrested on Tuesday for touching a female co-worker’s buttocks twice at a company meeting last month, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Lai In Hong said during a regular press conference yesterday.
Lai said that a 40-year-old insurance agent from a company in Nam Van touched his co-workers’ bottom twice after a meeting in Avenida Comercial de Macau on March 18. Lai said that the victim was not able to identify the suspect immediately until another meeting that took place a month afterwards when another of the victim’s co-workers pointed the suspect out to her. Lei added that the victim immediately reported the case to the police.
According to Lei, the CCTV recording shows that the suspect had been tailing the victim as people were leaving the conference room, he then touched the victim twice on the buttocks. The statement said that the suspect was called to the police station for questioning, and the suspect admitted his offence and said that he did it because he was sexually attracted by her.
The suspect, who faces a sexual harassment charge, has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP).
