JOHOR BAHRU: A mother and her son, together with an Indonesian woman were charged in the magistrates’ court here today, with two counts of trafficking two women for sexual exploitation, last month.
Lu Yon Moi, 65, her son, Tin Chee Keng, 42, and Indonesian national Nurul Hasanah, 26, nodded in understanding when the charges were read before magistrate A Shaarmini. No plea was recorded.
On the first charge, the three of them were jointly charged with trafficking a 25-year-old Indonesian woman for sexual exploitation in Kampung Baru Masai, near Pasir Gudang, between March 17 and March 20.
The three of them were also accused of committing the same act with a 29-year-old local woman at a massage parlour in the Seri Alam area here, between March 14 and March 19.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to 20 years’ jail and a fine upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor R Kodesviary applied for bail to be set at RM30,000 each. However, the three accused, represented by lawyer Baharudin Baharim, appealed for a minimum bail.
The court then set bail at RM20,000 each, in two sureties, for Lu and Tin, while Nurul was allowed bail at RM30,000, in two sureties.
They were also ordered to surrender their passports to the court, and set May 8 for mention. - FMT
