《中英對照讀新聞》Maori healer in court on potato sex charge 毛利族治療師出庭面對馬鈴薯性侵指控
A woman has told a New Zealand court that a Maori tohunga (healer), who uses traditional indigenous practices to treat patients, sexually violated her with a potato.The 38-year-old widow said Christopher Tuaupiki told her to lie on a bed naked and rubbed a raw potato “in circular motions everywhere”.
She told the court she thought the treatment was normal because she was not familiar with Maori healing practices. She also told the court that Tuaupiki said the treatment was necessary to remove a curse on her which was responsible for her son claiming to see apparitions of his father, who killed himself, and his dead grandparents.
