PETALING JAYA: Police arrested a factory worker last night for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old boy in Sungai Petani, Kedah.
Kuala Muda police chief Hanyan Ramlan said the incident reportedly took place at around 9pm on Monday when the victim and three friends were in the area of Bukit Bintang Ramlee, Berita Harian reported.
He said the boy was approached by a man on a motorcycle who claimed he wanted to give him a free bicycle.
“The victim followed the suspect to a house in Taman Sri Astana before returning to Bukit Bintang Ramlee with a bicycle.
“Later, the suspect told the boy he wanted to give him another bicycle, prompting him to follow the man again.
“This time, however, the boy, who is the third of four siblings, was taken to a forested area in Kampung Serukam, where the suspect allegedly forced the victim to touch his private parts,” he was quoted as saying in a statement today.
Hanyan said investigations would be carried out under Section 14(b) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
“Checks found that the suspect had no prior record. A remand application will be made today,” he said.
