Police have arrested an assistant diving trainer over the alleged molestation of a tourist from China last Friday.
Acting Semporna district police chief Arif Abdul Razak said the 27-year-old local male suspect was detained after the victim made a report at 10.03am yesterday.
“The victim claimed that the assistant divemaster kissed her during a scuba diving activity at a resort island,” he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.
Arif said after the victim made the report, she went to the Tawau Airport to fly to Kuala Lumpur on her way back to China.
The suspect, who worked part-time as an assistant divemaster, has been remanded for five days until May 11 to assist in the investigations, he added.
The case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in jail, a fine, whipping or a combination of those punishments.
The case went viral on social media after photos were shared on Facebook showing the victim being kissed, allegedly by the instructor during the scuba dive. - Mkini
