SEREMBAN: Police detained a 22-year-old unemployed man at 9.20pm yesterday for sexually abusing an eight-year-old girl at a homestay in Tampin near here on April 27.
Tampin police chief Amiruddien Sariman said this followed a report lodged by the girl’s mother four hours earlier.
The woman claimed the suspect had taken her daughter to the homestay to collect something.
“While in the homestay, the suspect had allegedly pulled down the victim’s pants, resulting in the girl immediately leaving the homestay.
“After the incident, the girl’s behaviour had shown a significant change and this was noticed by her teacher.
“Initial investigations revealed that the victim knew the suspect,” Amiruddien said in a statement here today.
He said the suspect would be remanded for three days from today and the case is being investigated under Section 15(a) (ii) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017. - FMT
