KOTA TINGGI: Police are looking for a foreigner suspected of raping his 14-year-old adopted daughter at her adoptive family’s house in Kluang.

Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the man, who is in his 30s, is believed to be still in the country.

“We believe he is on the run. He is married to the teenager’s adoptive mother, but it (the marriage) was not registered.

“From the doctor’s medical examination, there are signs of a previous assault,” he said at a press conference after the Johor police shooting competition with the media, in conjunction with Police Day at the REM Farm shooting range in Kota Tinggi here today.

It is understood that the rape took place on July 31 at about 3am and a police report was lodged by the victim and her teacher.

On the suspected abuse of an autistic child at a therapy centre in Skudai in July, Kamarul said police had submitted the investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor’s office.

“We have recorded statements of those involved, including the suspects and the institution of higher learning,” he added.

On July 29, Johor Bahru Utara district police chief Rupiah Abd Wahid said police were investigating a mother’s claim that her autistic son was abused by a teacher at the therapy centre in Skudai. The allegation went viral on social media.

In a Facebook post by a user named “Cik Puan Zetty”, the woman claimed her son had been admitted to a therapy centre at an institution of higher learning in Skudai in November 2019. The abuse was said to have occurred last July 7.

The woman claimed that her six-year-old son had been abused by the therapist, with finger-mark bruises visible on his left shoulder as well as pinch marks on his chest. - FMT
