A local man in his sixties has been arrested for sexually harassing a female worker at a restaurant on two separate occasions last month while delivering raw food to its kitchen, a Public Security Police (PSP) spokesperson said during a regular press conference yesterday.
The man surnamed Wong works as a deliveryman for a company supplying raw food to local restaurants.
The victim is a non-resident worker (NRWs) in her twenties who works at the restaurant on Rua de Coelho do Amaral (連勝街), the main street running from Luís de Camões Garden to the private Kiang Wu Hospital.
On May 18, Wong delivered raw food to the restaurant, where he hugged the victim from behind and touched her breasts. Terrified, the victim did not report the case to the police at that time.
However, Wong touched the victim’s breasts again on Wednesday last week while delivering raw food again. This time, the victim reported the matter to her employer, who then raised the issue with the suspect’s company. The victim reported the case to the police that night.
After reviewing the eatery’s CCTV footage and the citywide CCTV network, the police identified Wong, and intercepted him in the street in Patane district on Thursday morning last week.
Under questioning, Wong admitted to sexually harassing the female worker at the eatery twice.
Wong has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a sexual harassment charge.
According to Article 164-A of the Macau Penal Code, sexual harassment is punishable by a prison term of up to one year.
