Man charged with sexual assault of daughter
KUALA LUMPUR: A despatch rider pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to sexually assaulting his six-year-old daughter. The 37-year-old father of two is accused of committing the offence at a house in Kampung Datuk Keramat here between June 28 and July 10 last year. The charge is framed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, read together with Section 16(1) of the same law. If convicted, Section 14(a) provides for a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and whipping, while Section 16(1) carries a jail term of up to five years and a maximum of two strokes of the cane. According to a Bernama report yesterday, deputy public prosecutor M. Saravanan requested bail be set at RM20,000 in one surety, along with an additional condition that the accused must report to the nearest police station once a month. 'In addition, the accused must surrender his passport to the court and is prohibited from contacting or disturbing the victim, as he is the child's biological father and has visitation rights,' said DPP Saravanan. Meanwhile, the accused, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lower bail on grounds that he only earns RM2,000 a month and his daughter is currently living with his ex-wife who has since remarried. Judge Azrul Darus set July 16 for mention and granted the accused bail of RM5,000 in one surety, along with the condition that he must report to the nearest police station once a month until the disposal of the case.
