Indonesian man arrested for sexually harassing lover's teenage daughter
KLANG: Police have arrested an Indonesian man for allegedly sexually harassing the teenage daughter of his lover.
South Klang police chief Assistant Commissioner Ramli Kasa confirmed the case, adding that the 42-year-old man was arrested on May 30.
"We have remanded the suspect to facilitate further investigations under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act for physical sexual assault on a child.
"Those convicted could face imprisonment for a term not exceeding 20 years and shall also be liable to whipping," he said when contacted today.
The couple are believed to have engaged in sexual intercourse in front of the 17-year-old girl.
According to a report by a Chinese language news portal, the girl's mother had also sent sexually explicit videos to her daughter, intending to incite her to satisfy her lover's perverse desires.
The China Press reported that in April, the girl was awakened in the middle of the night on several occasions by her mother.
The woman allegedly allowed her boyfriend to enter her daughter's room and grope her while she was in bed.
After enduring the sexual harassment for over two months, the girl finally sought help from the Ketam Island Village Management Committee to lodge a police report.
The girl also provided a written record of the harassment she suffered from her mother and boyfriend to the police, requesting a thorough investigation.
When asked about the allegations made against the girl's mother, Ramli said they would investigate all the testimony given to facilitate prosecution.
"There are certain details that cannot be divulged at this juncture as it could disturb the process of investigation and prosecution," he said.
