A Filipino maintenance man who has been charged in Eastern
Court with two counts of indecent assault pleaded not guilty on Mar 5 to the
alleged offenses.
The charges were laid by police against the defendant,
Jesnar I. Bade, following a complaint by a Filipina domestic helper in
Mid-Levels in July last year.
According to court records, the incident happened when the
maid was asked by her employer to call an alarm system technician to troubleshoot
an air conditioner.
Magistrate Bina Chainrai set a one-day trial for Mar 29.
Two exhibits presented by the prosecution as well as a
cautioned statement will be challenged, the defense said.
