  "account": "At a court in Bukit Mertajam, a 22-year-old man, Muhammad Mukhris Sulaiman, was charged with five counts of misconduct involving four women. The alleged offenses took place between September 2 and September 23, 2023, at a factory in Bukit Minyak. Mukhris is accused of recording the women urinating in a toilet, an act that insults their modesty, which falls under Section 509 of the Penal Code. This charge carries a potential penalty of up to five years in jail, a fine, or both upon conviction.\n\nThe remaining charges stem from an inspection conducted at the Seberang Perai Tengah district police headquarters on September 24, 2023. Mukhris was accused of possessing several obscene videos during this inspection, which under Section 292 of the Penal Code, can result in a maximum three-year jail term, a fine, or both upon conviction.\n\nMukhris pleaded not guilty to all charges before magistrate Sharifah Razali. He was represented by lawyer V. Sivakumar, while the prosecution was handled by Deputy public prosecutor Siti Nur Amalina Harun. The court granted Mukhris bail totaling RM15,000 and imposed a restriction on him not to approach any of the alleged victims until the trial concludes. The case has been scheduled for a mention on November 19, 2023, for the submission of documents.",
