Construction worker charged with sexually assaulting, raping teen stepdaughter in Kampar

In the Sessions Court in Ipoh, a 43-year-old construction laborer pleaded not guilty to charges of sexually assaulting and raping his 16-year-old stepdaughter in Malim Nawar.

The first charge, under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, relates to an incident on September 10, while the second charge of rape, under the Penal Code, pertains to an incident in June 2025.

Represented by lawyer Aliff Aiman Rusli, the accused was granted bail set at RM9,000 for both charges with strict conditions, including monthly police reporting and no contact with the victim or witnesses.

The case is set for mention on December 2.

IPOH, October 9 — A construction labourer was charged in the Sessions Court here with two counts of sexually assaulting and raping his 16-year-old stepdaughter in Malim Nawar.

The 43-year-old pleaded not guilty to both charges after they were read before Judge Jean Sharmila Jesudason.

For the first charge, he was accused of molesting his stepdaughter in a bedroom at a house in Tualang Sekah, Malim Nawar, in the Kampar district at around 7am on September 10.

The charge was framed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

For the second charge, he was accused of raping his stepdaughter, who was 15 at the time, at the same location at around 8am on an unspecified date in June 2025.

He was charged under Section 376 of the Penal Code, which carries a prison sentence of between eight and 30 years, as well as whipping of not fewer than 10 strokes upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutors Nor Arfahanim Azureen Arfanuddin appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was represented by lawyer Aliff Aiman Rusli.

Nor Arfahanim urged the court to deny bail, arguing that the offences were serious.

However, if bail was to be granted, she asked the court to set it at RM25,000 for both charges with two non-family-member sureties.

She also sought additional conditions requiring the accused to report to the nearest police station once a month and prohibiting him from contacting or disturbing the victims and witnesses.

Meanwhile, Aliff appealed for bail to be set at a minimum of RM2,000 for both charges, arguing that his client had no previous criminal record and had cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.

“The victim is living with her biological father in Ipoh, and there is no risk of interference as my client resides in Malim Nawar.

“My client is also willing to comply with any bail conditions imposed by the court and is not a flight risk,” he said.

Aliff added that his client earned between RM50 and RM100 a day and had to support his wife and three children, aged 10, 16 and 19.

Judge Jean Sharmila granted bail of RM9,000 for both charges with two non-family-member sureties.

The court also ordered the accused not to contact the victim or witnesses and to report to the nearest police station once a month pending the disposal of the case.

The court fixed December 2 for mention.

在怡保地方法庭，一名 43 岁的建筑工人对在马林纳瓦尔性侵和强奸其 16 岁继女的指控拒不不认罪。

第一项指控依据《2017 年儿童性犯罪法》提出，涉及 9 月 10 日发生的一起事件；第二项强奸指控依据《刑法典》提出，涉及 2025 年 6 月发生的一起事件。

被告由律师阿里夫·艾曼·鲁斯利 (Aliff Aiman Rusli) 代表，获准以 9000 令吉的保释金保释两项指控，但附加了严格的条件，包括每月向警方报到以及不得与受害者或证人接触。

该案定于12月2日开庭审理。

怡保，10月9日讯——一名建筑工人在怡保地方法庭被控两项罪名，罪名是性侵和强奸其16岁的继女，案发地点在马林纳瓦尔。

43岁的被告在法官Jean Sharmila Jesudason面前听取了两项指控后，均表示不认罪。

第一项指控是，他于9月10日早上7点左右在金宝县马林纳瓦尔镇图阿朗塞卡的一所房子里的卧室里猥亵了他的继女。

该指控依据 2017 年《儿童性犯罪法》（第 792 号法案）第 14(a) 条提出，该条规定最高可判处 20 年监禁和鞭刑。

第二项指控是，他被控于 2025 年 6 月的某个未指明的日期早上 8 点左右，在同一地点强奸了他当时 15 岁的继女。

他被控违反刑法第 376 条，该条规定，一旦罪名成立，将处以 8 至 30 年有期徒刑，以及不少于 10 下鞭刑。

副检察官诺尔·阿尔法哈尼姆·阿祖林·阿尔法努丁代表控方出庭，而被告则由律师阿里夫·艾曼·鲁斯利代理。

诺尔·阿尔法哈尼姆敦促法庭拒绝保释，理由是这些罪行性质严重。

但是，如果准予保释，她要求法庭将两项指控的保释金定为 25,000 令吉，并要求两名非家庭成员担保。

她还要求附加条件，要求被告每月向最近的警察局报到一次，并禁止他联系或骚扰受害者和证人。

与此同时，阿里夫请求将两项指控的保释金至少定为2000令吉，他辩称他的当事人没有犯罪前科，并在整个调查过程中与警方合作。

“受害者与她的亲生父亲住在怡保，由于我的当事人住在马林纳瓦尔，因此不存在受到干扰的风险。”

他说：“我的当事人也愿意遵守法院规定的任何保释条件，并且没有潜逃风险。”

阿利夫补充说，他的客户每天收入在 50 至 100 令吉之间，还要养活妻子和三个孩子，分别 10 岁、16 岁和 19 岁。

法官 Jean Sharmila 准予被告以 9000 令吉的保释金保释，两项指控均需两名非家庭成员担保。

法院还命令被告在案件审理期间不得与受害者或证人接触，并每月到最近的警察局报到一次。

法院将12月2日定为下次开庭日期。
