Ex-navy man claims trial to sexually abusing son, daughter
The 40-year-old from Melaka, now unemployed, is also accused of beating his son, daughter and wife.
On May 23, a former navy man, now unemployed, appeared in court, charged with eight offenses, including sexual abuse of his two children and his wife. The 40-year-old man, who was being treated for shortness of breath at Melaka Hospital, claimed trial to the charges read to him by Sessions Court Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin and Magistrate Uthman Abd Ghani.
The first three charges detailed molestation of his eight-year-old son and four-year-old daughter at a home in Sungai Udang. These acts, under Section 14(a) and 14(b) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act, carry penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment and whipping if found guilty.
Additional charges included non-physical sexual assault on the daughter, with Section 15(a)(i) carrying a potential 10-year sentence, fine, or both. The accused was released on RM10,000 bail for these charges, and pleaded not guilty to three additional charges of causing hurt to his 35-year-old wife and children, under Section 323 of the Penal Code. He was released on RM5,000 bail for these charges.
The court set September 21 for the appointment of counsel and case mention.
