Pensioner charged in Kangar with sexual assault, using criminal force against two preteen girls

KANGAR, Oct 26 — A government retiree pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to three charges of committing physical sexual assault and criminal force against two girls about two months ago.

Annuar Abdullah, 72, entered the plea after the charges were read out to him before Judge Sharifah Norazlita Syed Salim Idid.

The first two charges alleged that Annuar committed physical sexual assault for sexual purposes against an 11-year-and-five-month-old girl at a house at No. 7, Lorong 4 Jalan Utama here, at 6.30 pm on Aug 11.

The third charge alleges that he used criminal force against a 10-year-and-11-month-old girl by pulling both her legs with the intention of outraging her modesty, at the same place, time and date.

The first two charges were brought under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which provides for a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

The third charge, under Section 354 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, a fine, whipping, or any two of the punishments, upon conviction.

The court granted Annuar bail of RM10,000 with one surety and ordered him to report to a nearby police station on the first day of every month.

He was also prohibited from approaching or disturbing the victims and prosecution witnesses until the disposal of the case.

The court fixed Nov 24 for mention for submission of relevant documents.

坎加尔，10 月 26 日——一名政府退休人员今天在当地地方法院对大约两个月前对两名女孩实施性侵犯和使用暴力的三项指控表示不认罪。

72 岁的安努阿·阿卜杜拉 (Annuar Abdullah) 在法官沙里法·诺拉兹利塔·赛义德·萨利姆·伊迪德 (Sharifah Norazlita Syed Salim Idid) 面前宣读了指控后，提出了抗辩。

前两项指控称，安努亚于 8 月 11 日下午 6 点 30 分在位于此地 Jalan Utama 4 巷 7 号的一间房屋内，对一名 11 岁零 5 个月大的女孩实施了出于性目的的身体性侵犯。

第三项指控称，他在同一地点、同一时间、同一日期，对一名 10 岁 11 个月大的女孩使用暴力，拉扯她的双腿，意图侮辱她的贞操。

前两项指控是根据 2017 年《性侵儿童法》第 14(a) 条提出的，该条规定，定罪后最高可判处 20 年监禁和鞭刑。

第三项指控依据《刑法》第 354 条，一经定罪，最高可判处 10 年监禁、罚款、鞭刑或其中两项处罚。

法庭准予安努亚以1万令吉保释，并需一名担保人，同时命令他每月第一天到附近的警察局报到。

在案件审理结束前，他也不得接近或骚扰受害者和控方证人。

法院将11月24日定为提交相关文件的日期。
