A Nepalese waiter has been accused of raping a Singapore Airlines air stewardess on a yacht in Hong Kong.
The accused, 21-year-old Gu Lun, appeared in court and insisted that he was innocent and admitted having sex with the 23-year-old stewardess only because she flashed her chest and seduced him first.
A DJ, whom the woman knew through her frequent visits to the Beijing Club in Lan Kwai Fong, had invited her to a promotional party on a yacht on 27 June last year.
She went with three girlfriends and got very drunk after having vodka, red wine and beer. However, the next morning, she woke up with some pain on her lower body and found herself someone else's home.
After a check with her friends, she realised that she had been sexually assaulted by a Nepalese waiter and she filed a police report.
According to media reports, the woman was on an annual visit to see her relatives in Hong Kong.
Last July, a Singaporean exchange student in Hong Kong was also sexually assaulted by three Nepalese men after she had been drinking in the fashionable Lan Kwai Fong district.
