A Filipina domestic helper has found herself at Eastern Court, accused of voyeurism after a nude photograph of her former employer was allegedly found in the mobile phone she returned when she left her job.

G. A., 42 years old, was charged with violation of section 159AAB (1) (a) (i) and 3) of the Crimes Ordinance, which prescribes a jail term of up to five years upon conviction.

In a hearing Tueday (Oct. 21), Principal Magistrate David Cheung Chi-wai issued an anonymity and gag order to protect the identity of the victim, who was identified in court as Female X.
