A 24-year-old restaurant worker has been charged with raping a 14-year-old girl he met online, who later gave birth to their child. Mohamad Al-Fierus Syarkawie Mohd Khamis pleaded not guilty in Sessions Court. The offence committed at a flat in Jalan Hospital on September 1, 2023, under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code, which could result in a 20-year prison sentence and whipping.
Deputy public prosecutor Nor Afrahanim Arfanuddin sought bail at RM22,000 with one surety under additional conditions of monthly police station reporting and refraining from contact with the victim. The accused, who became acquainted with the victim online, had a child together. The victim's mother learned of the pregnancy when the girl informed her, and the accused claimed ignorance of the court date.
Bail was later set at RM8,000 with one surety, with monthly police station reporting until the case concludes, with the next mention set for December 2.
