Police seek suspect in string of sexual assaults on teen boys in Shah Alam
Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the suspect would resort to using a ruse of asking his victims for help or asking them to book an e-hailing ride before sexually assaulting them.
"When the victims are distracted, the suspect would hug them from behind.
"If they try to fight him off, he would punch or choke them before sodomising them," he said when contacted on Sunday (July 6).
He said the police are still tracking down the suspect.
"We believe he is still in the country," he added.
It was reported that at least four boys have been allegedly sodomised by a Pakistani man in Seksyen 27 and 28 here.
ACP Mohd Iqbal had previously said that since April, four police reports have been lodged on the serial sodomiser.
"His victims are boys aged nine,13,14 and 19," he said.
Four investigation papers have been opened under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017 and Section 377C of the Penal Code, he added.
"We urge those with information on the case to contact investigating officer Insp Siti Mahanira Mahat at 017-644 4895.

Freelance preacher dupes two women of RM140,000 in religious school scam
KUALA LUMPUR: Two women lost a total of RM140,000 after they were deceived by a freelance preacher into contributing to the development of a religious school in Selangor. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the state Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) received reports from the two women, both in their 40s and owners of a company. Initial investigations revealed that the victims had become acquainted with the suspect, a local man in his 30s who was known to them as a freelance preacher in 2020, he said. "The suspect deceived the victims by claiming the money was for the development of a religious school, believed to be located in Selangor. "The first victim made three money transfers amounting to RM60,000 between August and September 2020, while the second victim made a payment of RM80,000 in 2019," he said in a statement today. Hussein said the suspect's modus operandi involved using the name of a religious institution to gain the victims' trust, ultimately convincing them to hand over funds for the school's development. He added that two investigation papers have been opened under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. "Police would like to remind the public to always be cautious of donation or investment requests that cannot be properly verified, especially those involving religious or educational institutions.
