Clearing her own name, Mandy even cited Him Law (羅仲謙) as her eye witness! Many said, “Of course, it is not me! That night, I was filming with Mother to Mother <巴不得媽媽> with Him Law until the middle of the night. Since I was very tired, I went directly home. Also, I do not know [the alleged rapist] and never went to the music studio!”" Since the rape victim was an actress at TVB, the company also led an internal cross-examination to clarify matters.

Deceiving title. Made it sounds like it was indeed one of them. Wouldn't be surprise if it was Cilla (but it's not) lol.
