An Indonesian domestic worker in Malaysia has been accused of filming herself performing sexual acts with her former employer's baby

The domestic worker has also been accused of sending the videos to her boyfriend, who then shared the videos in a WhatsApp group that included the maid's friends and some of her former employers.

According to a friend of the maid's former employer, seven videos were shared in the group.

According to a report by China Press, the woman filmed the baby touching and licking her private parts and sucking on her nipples. One of the videos filmed by the maid is five minutes long.

While the baby's age is not clear, he appears to be under one-year-old, according to a screenshot that was shared on a Facebook group about mothers and newborn babies.

SAYS is choosing to not share the screenshot.

The friend of the maid's former employer shared that the woman was hired by the family four years ago but she no longer works for them

"My friend (the maid's former employer) was shocked and at a loss about what to do when she saw them," the family friend was quoted as saying by China Press on 23 April.

According to her, the WhatsApp group was created on 19 April and since then, the family has been trying to look for the woman or find the domestic worker's current employer and warn them.

The friend has also posted warnings about the maid on Facebook

In the post, the friend requested anyone with information to get in touch with her.

The family friend has refused to share the videos with anyone, including with news outlets, reiterating that the purpose of publishing the post is to prevent the baby from continuing to be harmed.

Police investigations are currently underway

Bukit Aman's Criminal Investigation Department's Sexual, Women, and Child Investigation Division (D11) principal assistant director ACP Siti Kamsiah Hassan said they are still tracking the suspect's whereabouts.

According to her, authorities will be calling up the people in the WhatsApp group within a few days to assist in the investigation. So far, no arrests have been made, Siti Kamsiah told China Press.

Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya deputy district police chief Supt Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the videos were believed to have been recorded last year but only went viral this month.

"Initial investigations showed that the woman was the former domestic helper but has since returned to Indonesia. Checks (with the Immigration Department) showed that the woman had left the country on 27 September 2020," New Straits Times quoted him as saying yesterday, 24 April.

The woman is believed to have re-entered the country illegally later.

Ku Mashariman said that police are looking for a person named Nenobota Marisa, who is also from Indonesia. He added that they believe this person can shed more light on the case.

The case is being investigated under Section 8(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 for exchanging or publishing child pornography. The offence carries 15 years prison sentence and caning.
