KUALA LUMPUR: Police have detained a social media content creator for an alleged indecent exposure through a video call.
Wangsa Maju district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Lazim Ismail said the arrest was made following a police report lodged by a 24-year-old woman who received a video call from the suspect.
The 27-year-old man was detained yesterday at 2.25pm.
"The victim, a 24-year-old Malay woman, said she received an unsolicited video call from the suspect while at her home in Taman Melewar, Kuala Lumpur.
"The suspect, whom she had met earlier in May through Instagram, exposed himself and made lewd comments during the call.
"Investigation revealed that the suspect had initiated the video call and displayed his private parts to the victim, prompting her to file a police report," he said in a statement.
Lazim advised the public to exercise caution when using social media and to be wary of individuals they have recently met online.
