PETALING JAYA : A 19-year-old boy pleaded guilty in the Muar sessions court today to two charges of sexual assault earlier this month.
He was charged with sexually assaulting his 16-year-old girlfriend at a house in Batu Pahat, Johor at 12.45pm on July 2, Buletin TV3 reported.
He was charged under Sections 14(a) and 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which provides for up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping per charge.
The prosecution was managed by deputy public prosecutor Diyana Najihah Fauzi while the teenager was unrepresented.
Diyana said she would not offer bail as the accused had already pleaded guilty.
Judge Nariman Badruddin allowed for no bail to be offered and set July 23 for case mention and sentencing.
