A man in Kajang was recently arrested for allegedly raping his 13-year-old daughter

Harian Metro reported that the 43-year-old suspect was apprehended at his home in Pandan Indah on Tuesday, 14 July.

The arrest came after Teratai state legislative assembly member Bryan Lai Wai Chong was made aware of the sexual assault by the victim's relative.

Lai ordered the victim to be taken Ampang Hospital for a check-up and a police report was filed against the father on Saturday, 11 July.

Initial investigations also found that the suspect prostituted his daughter to several different men

Kajang district police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan told New Straits Times that the victim's father had raped her three years ago when she was 10.

"But that stopped when the victim's mother found out about it and scolded the man," he said.

The victim, who is now 13 years old, said her father had forced her to sleep with other men whenever her mother was not home. "She said she was forced to have sex with at least 20 men," he added.

Mohd Zaid noted that the exploitation started around 2019 when the victim was just 12 years old. It is learned that the men would pay the suspect RM100 for each visit.

"The suspect brought the 'customers' to their home and forced the victim to 'serve' them."

Five of the suspected 'customers' have been remanded by the authorities to assist with investigations

In another report, Harian Metro stated that the men were arrested in Cheras and Kajang yesterday.

The case is being investigated under Section 376B/372 of the Penal Code and Section 43(1)(a) of the Child Act.

Those with information about the case should contact the nearest station or investigation officer Inspector Hafiza at +6018-3903410 or +603-89114222.
