A Spanish banker living in Hong Kong raped his mainland wife after she called emergency services to break into their Wan Chai flat, a court has heard.
The 29-year-old saleswoman said she was unable to gain access to the flat at around 1am on April 23, 2013, as the door had been locked from the inside.
She claims she tried to call her husband and could hear his phone ringing inside the flat, so asked the emergency services to break down the door.
On gaining access, she found her 34-year-old husband, who cannot be named for legal reasons, passed out on the bed, stinking of alcohol, the SCMP reports.
The couple argued, culminating in the man pushing the woman onto the sofa and unsuccessfully trying to force her to perform oral sex on him, Hong Kong’s High Court heard on Friday.
The prosecution claims the banker then raped his wife, with the whole ordeal lasting around 10 to 20 seconds.
The defence team, however, laid counterclaims in court yesterday, saying the now ex-wife of the banker is seeking revenge because her husband refused to extend her dependent visa.
He claims he told her he was filing for divorce in April 2013 after the 29-year-old began staying out late and missed their anniversary.
The banker denies one count of rape. The trial continues.
