    Guilty of Assault on Maid

    and the SCMP runs this story the day after sentencing:

    Ex-civil servant faced hostility way before conviction for assault on maid | South China Morning Post

    There is definitely no place like home for former civil servant Au Wai-chun, who would get the cold shoulder from previously friendly neighbours and security guards whenever she returned to her Tseung Kwan O flat.The hostility was immediate, starting the day after her arrest on October 1 for pouring hot water on her Bangladeshi domestic helper and way before her conviction on September 1.
    "I could clearly see all these people, including the guards, turning their faces away and no longer wanting to talk to me," Au recalled of a trip back to Bauhinia Garden to pick up some clothes.
    The nearly year-long legal battle has left her mentally exhausted, and with a criminal record.
    Well done SCMP for rightly focusing our attention on the guilty party and not the victim. We wouldn't want to be thinking it's ok for maids to bring cases of abuse to police, because they really should think of the effect on the abuser and just not bother.
