Posted on at


HONG KONG (AP) - A Hong Kong woman who was accused of torturing her Indonesian maid in a case that sparked outrage for the scale of its brutality was convicted of a slew of assault and other charges on Tuesday.
A judge found Law Wan-tung guilty of 18 charges that also included criminal intimidation and failure to pay wages or give time off work to Erwiana Sulistyaningsih.
Her case highlighted the vulnerabilities of migrants working as domestic staff across Asia and the Middle East.
It gained widespread attention after photos of her injuries circulated among Indonesians in Hong Kong. They showed her face, hands and legs covered with scabs and lacerations, and blackened, peeling skin around her feet.
