Hong Kong - An Indonesian maid had sex with her employer's 14-year-old son after the pair watched pornographic movies together, a news report said Tuesday. Suwartin, a 45-year-old divorcee and mother of two, had a five-month sexual relationship with the boy and insisted on more sex when the teenager wanted to stop, the South China Morning Post reported.
The boy eventually confessed what was happening to the leader of a Christian group he attended, who then alerted the boy's mother, the newspaper said.
At a court hearing Monday, the maid pleaded guilty to five charges of committing an indecent act with an underage child between last August and January. She will be sentenced later this month.
Surwatin told the court she began working for the boy's family in 2005 but had not initially been close to the boy who sometimes shouted at her, the hearing in Hong Kong's District Court was told.
The sexual relationship began after she discovered the teenager, who lives with his divorced mother and two brothers, surfing internet porn sites. Afterwards, they watched porn films on the internet together and had sex, the court heard.
When the boy tried to end their sexual relationship after five months, Surwatin refused and they had sex three more times over the following weeks, the newspaper said.
Surwatin told the court through her lawyer that she acted out of loneliness and said she would live with the shame of what she had done for the rest of her life.
More than 200,000 women from the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand work as live-in maids for families in Hong Kong. They are paid a government-set minimum wage of around 420 US dollars a month.
