Melaka dance teacher remanded over sexual assault allegations
The 20-year-old is suspected of sexually assaulting two male students, aged 14 and 15.
A dance teacher in Melaka has been remanded for five days over allegations of sexually assaulting two of his students. The 20-year-old suspect is currently being held at the Ayer Keroh magistrates' court to assist in the investigation under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017. The court order was issued by senior assistant registrar Nurul Asyikin Rosli.
The teacher was arrested yesterday following reports from a 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy who were learning traditional dance from the suspect. According to Melaka police chief Dzulkhairi Mukhtar, the first victim alleges being sexually assaulted multiple times since September 4 at the suspect's home in Krubong and at Tasik 1 Krubong. The second victim claims the assault began at the end of December last year in a hotel and most recently in early June at the suspect's home in Krubong.
