Op Pedo: University student caught with 5,000 files of child pornography material
Even more disturbing, the 20-year-old suspect was found to have produced some of the pornographic material himself, involving two local children as victims. Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division's (D11) principal assistant director Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan KUALA LUMPUR – The illegal activities of a university student came to light after he was arrested during a recent operation codenamed Op Pedo, which led to the discovery of 5,000 files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and adult content on his devices. Even more disturbing, the 20-year-old suspect was found to have produced some of the pornographic material himself, involving two local children as victims. The man was arrested on April 29 in Pasir Gudang, Johor by a team from the Malaysia Internet Crime Against Children (Micac) unit, the Sexual Women and Child Investigation Division (D11) of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department and the Johor Contingent Police, in collaboration with Google. Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division's (D11) principal assistant director Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan said checks on the suspect's devices uncovered 5,000 files containing CSAM along with adult content, believed to have been downloaded from the internet. Some of the materials were also believed to have been produced by the suspect himself, involving two local children. She said further investigations revealed that the suspect had taken advantage of two girls, aged four and nine, who were also his cousins. "The suspect is believed to have recorded the acts using a mobile phone at several different locations — in Selangor, Pahang and Kelantan. "Police have seized a mobile phone and a laptop for further action under Section 10 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 and Section 292 of the Penal Code," she told Sinar. Kamsiah said three separate investigation papers had been opened in the relevant states. "For the offence of possessing CSAM and adult content, the suspect was charged in Johor on May 22, pleaded guilty and paid a fine of RM5,000. "For the offence involving recordings with the children at the suspect's family home in Sungai Buloh between 2023 and 2025, the suspect was charged today (Thursday) in Klang," she added. She said investigations into another incident involving the suspect bathing one of the victims in a bathroom at an oil palm plantation in Maran, Pahang were still under review by the Deputy Public Prosecutor. "As for the incidents in Kelantan, which occurred last year and this year at the suspect's grandmother's house, investigations are also still being reviewed by the Attorney General's Chambers," she said.

University student pleads guilty to physical sexual assault against cousin
KLANG: A local university student pleaded guilty in the Sessions Court here today to three charges of physical sexual assault against a girl who is his cousin in 2023 and 2025. Based on two charges, the 19-year-old man committed physical sexual assault against an eight-year-old girl on March 2 and 3 this year at a house in Sungai Buloh, Selangor. For the third charge, he was also accused of committing the offence of physical sexual assault against the victim at the same house on Sept 10, 2023. All the offences were charged under Section 14(a) and 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, and if convicted, the accused can be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 20 years and can be whipped. Previously, deputy public prosecutor Nur 'Ayuni Jamri requested a new date for the preparation of a social report from the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) considering that the accused is a young offender, in addition to being used as case facts and for sentencing. Nur 'Ayuni did not propose any bail due to the accused having a familial relationship with the victim, but suggested RM15,000 if the court allows it, with the additional condition of not disturbing any witnesses. The accused, who was not represented by a lawyer, in his mitigation, requested that the bail amount be reduced because he regretted his actions, was unemployed, and was still being supported by his father. 'This is my first mistake. I realise that I made a mistake. Previously, when I was detained for less than a month, I took that time to reflect on what I had done and repented. 'I am the eldest child and have the responsibility as an older brother to set a good example for my younger siblings. I request a reduction in the bail,' he said. However, Judge Siti Aminah Ghazali set the bail amount at RM8,000 and Aug 20 as the sentencing date. In a separate case in the same court, a 37-year-old lorry driver was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 20 strokes of the rotan after pleading guilty to raping his daughter last year and on May 17. The court also ordered the defendant to undergo counselling and police supervision for two years after completing the sentence. According to two charges, the lorry driver was accused of raping his biological child on Nov 10, 2024, and May 17, 2025, when the victim was 10 and 11 years old respectively, in a house in Meru, Klang. The man was charged under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of not more than 30 years and not less than 10 strokes of the rotan, upon conviction. The case was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Jannah Aimi while the accused was not represented by a lawyer.
