Teacher fined RM16,000 over criminal force against 3 students

In a recent court ruling in Seremban, a secondary school teacher named Asyraf Ahmad was fined RM16,000 for using criminal force against three female students. Judge Tasnim Abu Bakar imposed the sentence after Asyraf pleaded guilty to all four alternative charges in the court. The teacher, who is 36 years old, is accused of assaulting the girls with the intention of outraging their modesty.

Asyraf was found guilty and fined RM4,000 for each charge, with each fine also carrying a six-month jail term if not paid. The offenses allegedly occurred in the school's spa and classroom in April and May 2025. One incident also took place in a car near Rembau on May 17, 2025, between 9 am and 9:20 am on the North-South Expressway.

Asyraf was charged under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison, a fine, whipping, or any combination of the two. Deputy public prosecutor Norazihah Asmuni represented the prosecution, while Asyraf was defended by lawyer P Bhaerabii.
