Celebrity preacher exposed by Nurul Izzah has been charged, say cops
Confirming the matter, federal police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11) principal assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan said eight police reports had been lodged against the preacher.
She said seven of the cases took place in Penang, while one occurred in Kedah.
"The sexual assault cases involving the celebrity preacher in Penang are currently under trial.
"All the victims are male teenagers aged between 13 and 16," she said when contacted today.
She said the charges against the preacher were filed in 2023, 2024, and this year.
Izzah had previously shared in a Facebook post said the ustaz used a teenager's interest in nasyid to get close to him, but it was merely a ploy to mask his ill intentions.
It is understood that the man did not remain silent, and has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the victim's family, demanding a public apology.
