Well-known preacher Ebit Liew has been charged in Tenom, Sabah, with 11 counts of alleged acts linked to the sexual harassment of a woman.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Abdul Jalil Hassan in a statement confirmed the charges under Section 509 of the Penal Code.
This is in relation to lewd images and messages sent via WhatsApp with the intention to intrude upon the privacy of a person.
"All the charges were for offences allegedly committed in Tenom, Sabah, between March and June last year, against a woman.
"Upon conviction, the accused can be sentenced to prison for up to five years, or fined, or both," said Abdul Jalil.
"The police urges all parties to refrain from making any speculations or provocation to ensure a smooth proceeding," he added.
Harian Metro earlier reported Ebit, 37, arrived at the Circuit Court in the Tenom District Office in a Toyota Vellfire at around 9am, accompanied by several other individuals.
Last July, Ebit, known for his humanitarian missions, lodged a police report following various allegations of sexual harassment that surfaced on social media. - Mkini
