The AGC has also filed an appeal against the Penang Sessions Court's decision last Aug 28 to bound over Chuah Guan Jiu on a RM25,000 bond of good behaviour for three years for committing statutory rape.
Chuah was charged with raping a 12-year-old girl under Section 376 of the Penal Code and the decision was made based on his young age at the time of the offence and because he was a first-time offender.
