A 35-year-old man, identified as Cheung, was arrested on Saturday for allegedly molesting a 14-year-old employee at a Hong Kong maid cafe. The victim, a Form Three student who began working at the cafe on August 7, alleged that Cheung molested her multiple times on her first day of employment. According to a police source, Cheung allegedly hugged the victim around her waist and molested her on subsequent occasions, including making her sit on his lap for intimate photos and touching her waist and breasts.
The victim reported the alleged incidents to the police on Friday, and the case is currently under investigation by the Mong Kok crime squad. Maid cafes in Hong Kong are themed restaurants that emulate the Japanese subculture, with staff dressing in maid costumes and treating customers as "masters" or "mistresses." These cafes primarily cater to an audience of anime, manga, and gaming enthusiasts.
