Mother accused of conspiring in daughter's rape case
This disturbing case serves as a reminder of the critical need for child protection and vigilance against abuse, even within the confines of a home.
SHAH ALAM – Police have arrested a 36-year-old mother and her 61-year-old boyfriend to facilitate investigations into both a planned rape at a Kuala Lumpur hotel and a prior alleged rape of her 13-year-old daughter in 2024.
According to media reports, the victim discovered text messages between her mother and the suspect.

In these messages, the man explicitly stated his intention to have sexual intercourse with the girl.
The mother allegedly consented to the act and arranged a meeting at an unspecified hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Upon realising the danger, the teenager fled to a friend's home before filing a report at Pandan Indah police station on June 25.
Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail confirmed that both suspects were arrested on the same day.
The woman, a security guard and her boyfriend, a local trader, were detained by the Ampang Jaya Criminal Investigation Department (CID) personnel.
Investigators cited damning text messages proving the mother's active involvement in planning the assault.
'The correspondence unequivocally shows the boyfriend's intent to rape the victim, with the mother's full approval.
'Further investigations revealed the girl had previously been raped by the same man in 2024, an assault that her mother allegedly witnessed," he said in a statement today.
Federal Police Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division's (D11) principal assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan revealed the victim had been previously assaulted at age 12.
The girl awoke during the mid-2024 incident to find the suspect raping her, as her mother observed.
Initial investigations found that both suspects tested negative for drugs and had no prior criminal records.
The court approved a seven-day remand until July 4 for further interrogations.
The case is being investigated under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code for rape, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment and caning.
Authorities have recorded statements from five individuals, including the two suspects. The victim is scheduled to give her formal testimony at the Child Interview Centre (CIC) on July 1.
The arrests took place at 6.30pm last week.
