TAWAU: The Magistrate’s Court here yesterday sentenced a 30-year-old man to two years’ jail and ordered that he be referred to the Immigration Department for outraging the modesty of a six-year-old girl at a house.

Mohamad Sofiyan Bin Abd Wahab pleaded guilty before magistrate Ferhansha Farene Mohd Ferdaus to a charge under Section 354 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term up to 10 years or fine or whipping or any two of the tribulations, if convicted.

Prosecuting officer Inspector Ahmad Hafizul told the court that the accused had committed the offence in a bedroom of a house at Lorong Habib Abdul Rahman, Batu 2, Apas Road here at about 11am on December 21, 2013. He had used criminal force with the intention of outraging the modesty of the victim.

The police report revealed that the victim is the accused’s cousin who had gone to the ground floor of his house that day. The accused ordered her to enter his room to play games on his mobile phone.

He then took off the victim’s trousers and underwear, and attempted to insert his finger and penis into the victim’s vagina.

The accused then put on the victim’s underwear as well as trousers and ordered her to leave the room.

When the victim told her mother that she had been raped by the accused, her mother immediately examined her daughter’s private parts and found that it was swollen and there was some semen on her underwear.

Her mother then brought the victim to the district hospital for examination and then lodged a police report.

However, the medical examination showed that there was no tear or injury on her private parts.

The accused was detained by the police at Kg Saddani, Apas Road, Batu 2, at about 9.30pm on December 26, 2013.
