'Naked in bed': Senior judge claims he is falsely accused
A senior judge accused of outraging the modesty of a married woman by lying naked in her bedroom has lodged a counter police report against his accuser.
According to Ampang Jaya district police chief Mohamad Farouk Eshak, the judge alleged that the woman had made a false police report against him.
This was in December last year, several days after the woman reported to police about the incident which allegedly happened in August 2020.
"Yes, I confirm that the judge has also lodged a police report against the woman.
"We are still investigating the case," Farouk told Malaysiakini when contacted today.
The district police chief said that they are looking into the case under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which deals with offences pertaining to the use of criminal force or assault to outrage modesty.
Farouk said the police have also recorded statements from several individuals but he did not elaborate on this.
Yesterday, it was reported that the police are probing a senior judge who allegedly sexually harassed a married woman in 2020.
According to news reports, the woman had lodged a report claiming she found the judge lying naked on her bed, when the judge was visiting the woman's house, where she lived with her bedridden husband.
