A former assistant warden at a residential home for the intellectually disabled in Hong Kong has been accused of raping a resident multiple times two years ago.
Chung Pui-kei has been charged with five counts of rape of a mentally incapacitated woman who lived at a home in Tai Po linked to the Hong Chi Association, an NGO, between July and August 2024.
Prosecutor Human Lam Hiu-man outlined the five alleged incidents at the High Court on Friday and called a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist who had examined the woman to testify about her medical history.
A jury of four men and two women has been empanelled, with Judge Douglas Yau Tak-hong presiding over the trial.
Lam said the five incidents had been summarised from two video-recorded police interviews with the woman, known as X, as well as surveillance footage obtained by officers during their investigation.
Lam said X was now 23 years old but had the intellectual ability of a child aged nine years and 10 months.
