The 49-year-old accountant and her husband had strong Christian values, and restricted the girl’s computer use because she had previously sent explicit images of herself to someone, defence counsel Mark Andrews said.
One night in October 2023, the teen invited the boy to her home, sneaking him in just before 6.30pm and ushering him into her father’s bedroom at the front of the property.
Her dad was working the night shift while Ms Chin was in a back room watching TV.
The prosecutor and defence lawyer both say that after the teens had sex, the daughter heard her mum walking around so quickly got dressed and went out to try to distract her.
Mr Andrews said the girl asked “how do I look in this dress?” and tried to physically block her mother from entering the bedroom.
But Ms Chin saw shoes beside the bed - too large to be her husband’s — then spotted movement underneath the covers.
The mum pulled them down, revealing the half naked boy, and started shouting “intruder” while he repeatedly said “sorry”.
Ms Chin’s six-year-old son then walked in and complied when his mum asked him to fetch a knife, while she held the boyfriend by the wrist.
Mr Andrews said his client panicked — not knowing if the teen was holding her daughter against her will — and she instinctively tried to protect her children.
“She believed she’d discovered an intruder inside the house,” Mr Andrews said.
“She didn’t know if the male was armed, what his intentions were.
“This was just a whirlwind of fears and thoughts.”
Her daughter kept saying the boy was homeless, which “did nothing to allay” Ms Chin’s fears, Mr Andrews said.
It never crossed Ms Chin’s mind that her daughter had invited the teen there and “the last thing” she suspected was that they’d had sex, believing the girl to still be a virgin, he said.
At no stage did the teen say he was her boyfriend, Mr Andrews said.
But according to the prosecutor, the daughter said: “Ma, you’ll be the one who goes to jail for this”.
Mr Graham alleged Ms Chin then replied: “I don’t care, he’s an intruder”.
The boy tried to flee but couldn’t get the front door open, and was stabbed twice in the shoulder and twice in the chest after turning around.
Mr Andrews said his petite client did not intend to harm the teen, inflicting shallow and non-life threatening wounds, and was only “trying to keep distance between them”.
Once cornered, the boy had taken several steps towards Ms Chin while exuding “confidence and cocksureness”, the lawyer said.
“Her actions were motivated at all stage by fear, not anger,” he said.
After the teens fled and called triple-zero, Ms Chin saw a condom wrapper and the girl’s underwear on the bed, Mr Andrews said.
“For the first time, the penny dropped,” he said.
