Teen pleads guilty to raping varsity student, extorting her boyfriend
PETALING JAYA : A 17-year-old boy pleaded guilty in the sessions and magistrates' courts today to raping a student from a university in Muar, Johor, and extorting her boyfriend on July 7.
He pleaded guilty to the charges under Sections 376(1) and 384 of the Penal Code, Berita Harian reported.
However, his friend Alif Hakim Hamil, 19, who was also charged with the same crime, pleaded not guilty to both charges.
According to the first charge read out in the sessions court, the duo allegedly raped the 20-year-old student in an oil palm plantation between 9pm and 11.30pm on July 7.
The charge under Section 376(1) for rape provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and a whipping.
The prosecution was managed by deputy public prosecutor Diyana Najihah Fauzi while Alif was represented by lawyer Salmi Hamdan Sabran.
Sessions court judge Nariman Badruddin set Aug 14 for the handover of documents and allowed bail of RM8,000 for Alif, on the condition that he report to a police station once a month and refrain from disturbing the witnesses until the disposal of the case.
In the magistrates' court, they were charged with extorting the girl's 21-year-old boyfriend for RM250 in cash at the same time, date and place.
The charge under Section 384 provides for imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine, whipping, or any two of the punishments.
Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar set Sept 28 for the submission of the social welfare department's report on the 17-year-old, and the handover of documents for Alif.
The court allowed the 17-year-old bail of RM3,000 for both charges, while Alif was released on bail of RM2,000 for the extortion charge.
The prosecution was managed by deputy public prosecutors Amirah Sapian and Nur Ameerah Allaudeen.

‘Don't click': Public warned of RM100 Sara scam links posing as government portals
MUAR, July 26 — The public is urged to remain vigilant against fraudulent links circulated by scammers related to the one-off RM100 cash assistance under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) initiative, which are designed to collect personal information, said Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching. She said the scammers often employ deceptive tactics by sharing links accompanied by posters that appear convincing, incorporating official-looking elements such as the Malaysia Madani and Bersama Malaysiaku logos to mislead recipients. 'One such example is the link which falsely claims to provide official information about the RM100 Sara aid and prompts users to submit their personal information. The Ministry of Finance confirmed yesterday that this link is fake,' she said. 'My advice is, if the information truly comes from the government, the link will typically end with '. - where 'gov' stands for government,' she told reporters after attending the Madani Community Service programme held in conjunction with the launch of National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign here. She added that numerous complaints had been received regarding the matter, and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had taken steps to block the fraudulent link. Teo said that such scams often evolve by creating new websites with similar names, such as ' or ' and urged the public to remain vigilant. She also stressed that no money will be deposited into e-wallets or Touch 'n Go accounts. Instead, eligible MyKad holders only need to present their identification cards at participating outlets, including Lotus's, Mydin, 99 Speedmart and selected grocery stores — to access the benefits. 'The primary role of the MyKad in this programme is solely to verify the identity of recipients. It has no connection to any e-wallet platform, so there's no need to worry if your MyKad isn't linked to certain applications,' Teo said. She also urged the public to rely only on official websites or verified social media accounts of government agencies, such as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Communications for the latest and most accurate information. 'Our tagline for fake news is 'If you're not sure, don't share.' Today, I want to add: 'If you're not sure, don't click,'' she added. — Bernama
