A 30-year-old man has been apprehended on allegations of raping and molesting his stepdaughter, who is 15 years old, for the past three years. The Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Azam Ismail stated that the initial incident took place in January 2020 at a shophouse on Jalan Pandan Indah. At the time, the victim was at home with her younger brother. According to Asst Comm Mohd Azam, “The victim, who was 13 at the time, claims that the suspect embraced her from behind, groped her, and proceeded to rape her.”
The victim further alleges that on August 28 of this year, the suspect groped her at a residence in Taman Saga, and that another groping incident occurred on August 30. The suspect was arrested around 10:30 PM on September 7 in Taman Saga. Asst Comm Mohd Azam revealed, “He works as a delivery rider and has two previous criminal offenses.”
The suspect, however, has denied raping or molesting the victim and has suggested that she fabricated the story because he was strict with her. ACP Mohd Azam stated, “Medical officers at Hospital Ampang have confirmed that the victim suffered tears in her private parts.” The suspect has been held in custody until September 14 to facilitate further investigations.
