Popular Korean Twitch streamer may5w was sexually assaulted nearly two months ago during her visit to Hong Kong by a chef at a tram station.
may5w was on her way to her hotel when a stranger pushed her against the wall on the staircase of the MTR tram station and started groping her. She was shocked by the incident and upon a few attempts to resist, she was able to break free upon which another person was able to protect her from the assaulter.
The whole incident was being live streamed and suffice it to say that she had it all on tape at the time of the incident a chef was arrested by authorities under suspicion and two months from now he has been sentenced to three months in prison.
“This was the first time I had experienced such a situation and I was too shocked to even think about shouting,” she said. “…Rumors have emerged, including the absurd claim that I staged a drama to become famous and promote racial discrimination. …it hurt me more than being sexually harassed that day.”
“This experience makes me realize the importance of being cautious when helping others or showing kindness, and it saddens me deeply.”
She explained the incident in her video before shutting down rumours of how she used it as a publicity stunt to gain more attention. She claimed that the man initially came to her seeking help but it quickly turned into a traumatic experience for her. She did not address the sentence that he is served with but her fans were happy to know that justice was served.
