A 48-year-old man has been arrested after three female students lodged police reports alleging he sexually assaulted them at a school hostel in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Kuala Selangor.
Hulu Selangor district police chief Ibrahim Husin said the reports were filed by three 16-year-old girls at 4.16pm yesterday.
“Investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly touched all three victims while they were sleeping,” he said, as reported by Harian Metro.
The suspect, who has no prior criminal record, was arrested on the same day by officers from the Hulu Selangor police headquarters’ criminal investigation department. He has since been brought to the Kuala Kubu Bharu magistrates’ court for a remand application.
The case is being investigated under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which pertains to sexual assault.
