A mainlander raped a prostitute in a hotel guestroom on Monday after she had demanded that he stop the sex act, after he repeatedly slapped her face, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Chong Kam Leong said during a regular press conference yesterday.
According to Chong, the man did not pay the prostitute for the service, and even blackmailed the woman into paying him HK$6,000 as otherwise he would report to the police that she was an overstayer.
Chong identified the suspect as a 32-year-old surnamed Fan who told the police that he is unemployed. The victim is a 35-year-old mainlander.
According to Chong, the victim had met a man (not Fan) on a social media app earlier this month, who told her that he could find her work as a sex worker in Macau.
On Monday, the victim was arranged to have commercial sex in a hotel guestroom in the peninsula’s central district where the client was Fan, who agreed to pay her HK$1,000 for the service.
During their chat, Fan learnt that the victim was overstaying in Macau, Chong said, adding that when they were having sex, Fan started to repeatedly slap the victim’s face, because of which the victim demanded that they stop the sex act. However, Chong said, Fan ignored her and continued to have sex with her. The victim kept resisting Fan, but he then raped her, Chong said.
Chong said that Fan refused to pay the victim the money they had agreed, and even threatened to report to the police that she was overstaying in Macau. The victim finally paid Fan HK$6,000.
According to Chong, the victim left the guestroom, and after considering what had happened she decided to report the case to the police the next day, when PJ officers went to the guestroom – where Fan was staying – they arrested him.
Based on evidence such as text messages between Fan and the victim and the hotel’s CCTV footage, the Judiciary Police have transferred Fan to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), where he is facing rape and extortion charges.
