A teenage boy accused of raping a 15-year-old Facebook friend in Hong Kong denied ever meeting her, a court heard on Friday.
The 17-year-old Nepali pleaded not guilty to one count of rape as his trial opened in the High Court, a month after his lawyers filed a notice of alibi claiming his mother could vouch for him being at home all day when the sexual assault allegedly took place on July 31, 2017.
The court heard the pair had befriended each other on Facebook in 2016 and crossed paths at a mutual friend’s birthday party the following March – but it was not until late July that they connected through messages. It was then that the boy slowly pushed her onto her bed, kissed her and took off their clothes, she said.
“I was actually scared and terrified. Confused,” she told the social worker. “I can talk to people, give advice … I didn’t expect him to go that far and take away something from me.”
