  "account": "In a recent incident, five reports were received by the police regarding the circulation of photos of female students using AI technology at a secondary school. Ng Kian Nam & Partners, the lawyer representing the victims, accused the police of not following standard operating procedures (SOP) as they called the victims to face a suspect for facial recognition. The police clarified that the suspect in this case is a Form 5 student.\n\nThe police's actions were deemed a clear violation of SOP, where the suspect should not have been able to see the identity of the victims. Moreover, the victims are young children, who require more sensitive and protective handling from the police in accordance with the Children's Act. The lawyer also expressed concern that the suspect would be allowed to continue attending the school with the victims the following day and stated that the school and police are responsible for any potential consequences.\n\nThe lawyer requested that the school management offer themselves as witnesses to assist the police investigation, specifically to confirm whether there was any abuse of power or violation of SOP by the officials in handling this issue. The police captain and the deputy head of the school were called to provide statements. The lawyer also claimed that the suspect was brought to the police station by a guard. The lawyer stated that some of the relevant photos were still stored in another mobile phone apart from the one kept at the school's mosque.\n\nFurthermore, the lawyer said that their child was content with the police's efficiency, but accepted complaints from child witnesses who claimed the police treated them too aggressively, as if they were suspects. The lawyer stated that the police wanted to seize their child's mobile phone, but eventually agreed to let them take it home after they made a request. Previously, the police received five reports regarding the circulation of female students' facial photos made using AI technology, resembling crude images. The State Chief Minister of Selangor, Alzafny Ahmad, said his department received reports of victims aged 14 to 17 years old from their parents and guardians between August 20 and 23. The investigation was conducted under Section 5 of the Sexual Offences Act and Section 292 of the Penal Code.",
