02 August 2019

Kowloon City court
By Vir Lumicao An 11-year-old boy testified on Aug 1 against a Filipina domestic helper accused of ill-treating and indecently assaulting him. The alleged victim identified only as “X” was the first witness to be called after the trial got underway in Kowloon City court. He was first briefed by Magistrate Raymond Wong through a video chat in which he could only speak with the magistrate and the prosecution and defense lawyer. Thursday’s session, however, was mainly used to view two video recorded interviews in Cantonese of the boy by the prosecution on Nov 5, 2018 and Jan 3, 2019.

The defendant, Angela Vivo, who has denied three charges of ill-treatment and two of indecent assault on the boy, watched quietly as the video recorded interviews were played back on a big screen.

In the earlier video interviews when the boy was much younger, he looked bored and inattentive,shifting from side to side or curling up on his seat.
