Lorry driver gets 10 years in jail, 20 strokes for raping 11-year-old daughter
KLANG: A lorry driver who raped his own daughter was slapped with a ten-year jail term and ordered to be whipped 20 times after he pleaded guilty to the two charges levelled against him.
Sessions Court judge Siti Aminah Ghazali also ordered the 37-year-old man to undergo counselling and police supervision for two years after completing his sentence.
According to the charge sheet, the father of two, had raped his daughter, who is currently 11-years-old, once in November last year and again in May this year at the family home in Meru near here.
The accused, who was unrepresented, pleaded for leniency as he had a wife and two children to support.
'I regret what I had done and swear not to do it again," said the man, who according to the facts of the case, had raped his daughter, on both occasions, when his wife was not home.
DPP Nurul Jannah Aimi sought a heavy penalty because the accused had committed a serious crime in the wake of an increase in sexual violence cases against children in Selangor.
'The accused, as the father, had the obligation to care for and raise the victim, but had instead betrayed her with his disgraceful conduct," she said, adding the victim would be traumatised all her life over what had happened.
In the same court, a 19-year-old public university student also pleaded guilty to sexually violating his cousin.
The youth was slapped with three charges for sexually abusing the presently eight-year-old child once in 2023 and twice this year.
In the first charge, the eldest child of four siblings was accused of performing cunnilingus on the child in a house at Sungai Buloh in March this year.
In the second charge, he was accused of touching the girl's private parts in the same premise the following day after he had performed oral sex on her.
In the third charge, the youth had allegedly placed his penis on the girl's vagina at the same house in September 2023.
He was charged under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which comes with a prison term of up to 20 years and whipping, for all three offences.
DPP Nur Ayuni Jamri did not offer any bail, citing the gravity of the case but asked for RM15,000 with one surety if the court decided to grant the accused bail.
She also wanted the court to order the youth or his representatives not to contact the prosecution's witnesses.
In pleading for a lower bail amount, the youth, who was unrepresented, said he had self-reflected during the almost one month he was under remand and regretted his conduct.
'I am remorseful about what I have done and this is my first offence.
'I have three siblings, and my father is the sole breadwinner.
'I plead for the bail amount to be lowered," said the accused.
Siti Aminah set Aug 20 for sentencing as well as submission of a report by the Social Welfare Department, as the accused was still young.
Apart from the two accused, at least four other men were charged for various sexual offences against children in the same court.

Langkawi's Spiciest Heist: Robber Armed With Machete AND Chilli Powder
Subscribe to our FREE In what sounds like a rejected plot for a low-budget action movie, a 45-year-old man decided to rob a gold shop in Langkawi armed with a machete and, wait for it…chilli powder. Yes, chilli powder. The incident, which took place around 11:48am on Wednesday (18 June) in Jalan Pandak Mayah, Kuah, was captured on CCTV camera and is now spicing up The footage shows the masked suspect barging into the store like he had nothing to lose (except maybe a sense of logic), hurling chilli powder at a staff member in what we can only assume was meant to be some kind of tactical distraction. Photo: X | @update11111 With the victim temporarily stunned (and probably crying tears of confusion), the man proceeded to smash the glass display case and grabbed gold jewellery estimated to be worth around RM50,000. Then he ran. But his great escape didn't quite go as planned. The 69-year-old shop owner, clearly not in the mood to get robbed, was joined by some good old-fashioned Malaysian bystanders who weren't about to let a chilli-wielding robber ruin their day. The suspect was eventually caught by patrolling police officers who were in the area and, thankfully, not blinded by spices. According to The suspect is now being investigated under Sections 392 and 397 of the Penal Code for armed robbery, which could land him up to 14 years in prison and a few strokes of the rotan, though it's safe to say he's already feeling the burn.
