SUBANG JAYA: Police have arrested a 36-year-old man believed to have sexually abused his stepdaughter at their home in Batu 13, Jalan Puchong, here, last Monday.
Bukit Aman's Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division's (D11) principal assistant director, Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan said the victim, a 15-year-old girl initially informed her mother about the suspect's actions.
According to her, the preliminary investigation revealed that the victim had informed her 31-year-old mother that the suspect had committed the act in 2021.
However, the 36-year-old man pleaded and promised not to touch the victim again, which led the mother to refrain from filing a police report.
The victim again informed her mother on Jan 9 that the suspect had done the same thing while the mother was out at work.
"As a result, her mother came forward to file a report at the Putra Heights police station," she said when contacted today (Jan 18).
She also said the suspect has been remanded for a week until Jan 20, to assist in investigations under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.Muhaamad Hafis Nawawi
