SARATOK: A 15-year old girl last Monday lodged a report at the police station here that she had been sexually abused and raped by her stepfather.

District police chief DSP Lee Thai Lien, when contacted for confirmation, said they had commenced investigation into the case.

“Acting on the report, we arrested the 56-year old suspect last Tuesday to facilitate our investigation.

“We have also sent the victim to Sibu Hospital to undergo medical check-up on the same day,” Lee said.

In her report, the victim claimed that her stepfather committed the heinous offence in a longhouse in Roban one night in January 2012.

Before the alleged rape, the victim said the suspect grabbed her hand when she was drinking water in the kitchen and pulled her into a room.

He then pushed her onto the bed, groped her breast and pulled down her underwear, she narrated, adding despite putting up a struggle, she was over-powered and surrendered.

She also alleged the suspect had sexually abused her on numerous occasions, and because she could not stand his heinous act, she moved to stay with her auntie in Taman Susur Jambu, Sarikei.

The suspect had also threatened to harm her if she informed anyone about the incident, the victim claimed.

The case had been classified as rape under Section 376 of the Penal Code, Lee added.
