PETALING JAYA : Melaka police have launched an investigation into a leaked sex video allegedly involving a female teacher and a married electrician.
Alor Gajah police chief Ashari Abu Samah said the investigation paper was opened under Section 509 of the Penal Code for outraging modesty, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which deals with the misuse of network facilities.
'The teacher lodged a report as she was dissatisfied with the circulation of the video,' Harian Metro quoted him as saying.
He said a preliminary probe into the mobile phone of the man did not uncover any pornographic content. The case will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor for further action.
The case went viral on social media, with people sharing video clips of the man's wife confronting the teacher.
Also shared were screenshots of lewd conversations on WhatsApp, said to be between the pair.
The scandal prompted the education ministry to temporarily suspend the teacher from her duties.
Following the uproar, the Melaka shariah high court fined both the teacher, Nur Fadilah Zainal, and the electrician, Hairul Ezuan Hamzah, RM5,000 each for attempting to commit an immoral act earlier this year.
They were charged under Section 52 of the Melaka Syariah Offences Enactment 1991. Both paid the fines.
