A 15-year-old boy, who last month pleaded guilty to multiple counts of raping his younger sister, has been ordered by a Magistrate's Court in Negeri Sembilan to be sent to a school for young offenders in Melaka
The court ordered the teenager to be sent to Henry Gurney School in Telok Mas for three years.
According to a Sinar Harian report, Magistrate Norshazwani Ishak made the decision after examining the social report submitted by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) against the 15-year-old accused.
His parents are allowed to visit him once a month.
There are six Henry Gurney Schools in Malaysia
They were established in 1949 under the Juvenile Courts Act 1947 [Act 90]. The schools offer rehabilitation programmes that are divided into four stages, including vocational and academic.
The accused was charged under Section 376B(1) of the Penal Code
Section 376B covers incest and carries a jail term of between 10 and 30 years, and whipping.
On the first count, he was charged with raping his 14-year-old sister between 11pm and midnight at a house in Jempol, Negeri Sembilan, between 21 June and 30 June last year.
On the second count, the 15-year-old was charged with committing the same offence on the girl at about the same time and same location between 1 September and 10 September.
