Yes. With reference to section 11 and section 14 of the SDO, if she is employed by a Hong Kong company and works mainly or wholly in Hong Kong (i.e. she only takes business trips outside Hong Kong occasionally), the harasser is still liable for sexual harassment even though the unlawful act is committed outside Hong Kong.
