Teen gets 90 hours' community service for raping 14-year-old

In Batu Pahat, a 15-year-old boy has been sentenced to 90 hours of community service over six months following his guilty plea to raping a 14-year-old girl. Magistrate Mustaqim Sukarno also imposed a RM1,500 good behaviour bond, which includes a curfew from 9pm to 6am. The teenager must also attend counseling sessions with a school counselor at least once every three months and report to the Welfare Department twice a month.

The assault occurred in a room at the stadium on July 5, where the victim had gone jogging with the boy before returning to the stadium to rest. The crime was committed when the boy took the girl by the hand into an unlocked room. Police were alerted by Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital, where the victim sought treatment. The case was prosecuted by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur Shahzleen Ibrahim, while the defendant was represented by lawyer Normaahani Rais from the National Legal Aid Foundation.
