A 36-year-old Swedish businessman was found guilty of raping his Nepalese domestic helper and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment by a Hong Kong court on Monday.
Hong Kong High Court found the accused, Patrik Tobias Ekstrom earlier guilty of one count of rape and another of buggery without consent for sexually assaulting his domestic helper in his bedroom on the night of October 27, 2022.
According to the report, Nepalese victim said in the court earlier that the defendant arrived home drunk on the day of the attack after learning his wife and children had left him.
She told the court that Ekstrom at one point became very emotional and threatened to kill her if she did not comply with his demand for sex.
He then pressed her down onto the bed before sexually assaulting her, only stopping when she cried out in pain.
However, the accused denied raping the woman and claimed his domestic helper had initiated sex with him on two other occasions, during which she asked him to repay a debt she had owned.
Moreover, he argued in his defence that she had initiated sex with him the night in question to offer him “comfort”.
瑞典商人在香港強姦女傭被判入獄七年
週一，一名 36 歲的瑞典商人因強姦尼泊爾女傭而被香港法院判處七年監禁。
香港高等法院裁定，被告帕特里克·托比亞斯·埃克斯特羅姆(Patrik Tobias Ekstrom) 於2022 年10 月27 日晚在其臥室內對其女傭實施性侵犯，犯有一項強姦罪和另一項未經同意的雞姦罪。
報道稱，尼泊爾受害者早些時候在法庭上表示，被告在得知妻子和孩子離開他後，在襲擊當天喝醉了回家。
她告訴法庭，埃克斯特羅姆一度變得非常情緒化，並威脅說，如果她不滿足他的性要求，就會殺了她。
然後他將她按倒在床上，然後對她進行了性侵犯，直到她痛苦地叫喊時才停止。
然而，被告否認強姦該女子，並聲稱其家庭傭工曾兩次與他發生性關係，期間女傭要求他償還她欠下的債務。
此外，他在辯護中辯稱，她在當晚與他發生性關係是為了給他「安慰」。
