Teen found to be offering sexual services on messaging app

In a recent investigation by Perlis police into alleged sexual offences against a minor, authorities have uncovered a troubling case involving a 17-year-old individual. The teenager, who has not completed their schooling, has been found to be offering sexual services through the MiChat app, which is also used for dating purposes.

The 34-year-old suspect, arrested in connection with the case, met with the teenager in June. According to Kangar police chief Yusharifuddin Yusop, the minor advertised her services on the app and engaged in sexual activity with the suspect at a hotel on July 19. The 34-year-old man has been remanded until August 11 to aid ongoing investigations into the alleged sexual assault of the teenager.

Following the encounter, the minor was taken to Tuanku Fauziah Hospital in Kangar for a medical examination. In the meantime, the teenager has been placed in a secure location to ensure their safety.
