A man in Selayang was recently arrested for molesting his three stepdaughters

According to Astro Awani, the man who works as a contractor is under remand for one week after sexually harassing the girls in their home at Bandar Baru Selayang, Selangor.

The remand order was issued by Magistrate Nor Hafizah Rajuni when the 52-year-old suspect was taken to court at 9am on Sunday, 15 November.

His actions were exposed after his 14-year-old stepdaughter filed a police report.

It was found that he had molested his three stepdaughters including the eldest sister, a 20-year-old with learning disabilities.

Gombak district police chief ACP Arifai Tarawe told Sinar Harian that the suspect was apprehended on 15 November, around 12.40am.

He said, "The arrest was made following a report from the 14-year-old victim who claimed that her stepfather molested her while their mother was asleep or away from the house. This has been going on from February until October."

Arifai added that the victim was threatened to not tell anyone else regarding the matter.

"Besides that, the victim's two sisters, aged 15 and 20, were also molested by their stepfather. The victim's 20-year-old sister is a person with a learning disability. When their brother and aunt found out about the situation, they took the victims to file a police report."
