A man in his 30s was charged at the Sessions Court here today with allegedly committing a non-consensual unnatural sex act against his wife on two occasions in 2024.
The accused pleaded not guilty after both charges were read before Sessions Court judge Nazlyza Mohamad Nazri.
According to the first charge, the man allegedly committed the offence in a bedroom at a house in Marang district at about 11pm on Dec 2, 2024.
He was also accused of committing a similar offence against the same woman at around 10pm on Dec 4, 2024, at the same location.
The accused was charged under Section 377C of the Penal Code, which provides for imprisonment of between five and 20 years and whipping upon conviction.
The court granted the accused bail of RM15,000 with one surety for both charges.
As part of the bail conditions, he was ordered to surrender his passport to the court, refrain from contacting or interfering with the complainant, and report to the nearest police station on the 15th of every month.
The court fixed Sept 23 for further mention of the case.
Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Asymawi Ghazali appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was represented by lawyer Mohd Hazrin Alif Wahab.
