BATU PAHAT: A factory supervisor Atan Adiman, 58, was sentenced to two months in prison after pleading guilty at the magistrate's court today to charges of indecent behaviour by exposing himself to a female neighbour last Thursday.
Based on the case facts, the incident occurred early in the morning as the victim was about to leave her house for work.
The victim saw a half-naked man behaving indecently towards her. The incident was recorded by the victim on her mobile phone and captured by nearby CCTV cameras.
Terrified, the victim filed a report at the Tongkang Pechah police station, and the accused, who is also married, was arrested around 7.30pm the same day.
Deputy public prosecutor Farah Wahidah Mohd Sharip prosecuted, while the accused was represented by lawyer Zuliyati Awang.
In his plea for leniency, the accused requested a lighter sentence due to his responsibility of supporting his family. However, the prosecution sought an appropriate sentence for the severity of the offence.
The court sentenced the accused to two months in prison, effective from the date of his arrest on July 25.
