  "account": "Two 16-year-old boys pleaded guilty in a Malaysian court to raping a 14-year-old girl with disabilities on October 6. The crime allegedly occurred between 9pm and 10pm near a fish pond hut in Kuala Pahang's Kampung Siong. The girls reportedly met one of the accused through TikTok the day before the incident. After going out with him, she was taken to meet the second accused and was subsequently raped. The accused face charges under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and whipping. The prosecution was represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Siti Sarah Aqilah Lokman, while the defense was handled by Noor Shuhada Arifin from the National Legal Aid Foundation. Bail was set at RM8,000 for each accused, but only one managed to pay the required amount. The court has set November 30 for the submission of additional reports.",
