24-year-old man charged with raping teen girl a day after meeting her
MUAR: A 24-year-old burger seller was charged in the Sessions Court here today with raping a 12-year-old girl in Tangkak in May, just a day after they met.
A 24-year-old man has been charged with raping a 12-year-old girl in the small town of Muar, Malaysia. Mohamad Akhil Yusuf pleaded not guilty to the charge in Sessions Court, where the judge criticized him for seeking a reduction in bail. The accused allegedly raped the girl in a car on May 29, just a day after they met. He was arrested on August 7 after the victim's mother discovered sexually explicit messages on her phone.
The girl later admitted to her mother that she engaged in the act with the accused. The accused was released on bail of RM8,000 and ordered to report to the police monthly and refrain from contacting the victim or her family.
