Lorry driver held for raping 12yo stepdaughter for 2yrs

A lorry driver was arrested after he allegedly molested and raped his 12-year-old stepdaughter over a period of two years.

Although the girl had complained about the acts to her mother, she did not believe her and instead beat her daughter up.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab said police arrested the suspect in his house at Batu 9, Cheras, on Wednesday after the victim’s brother lodged a report.

“He last raped her in November last year,” he said at the Kajang police headquarters here yesterday.

It is learnt that the victim had been living with her mother and stepfather since she was an infant.

ACP Abdul Rashid said the victim could no longer stand the beatings from her mother and stepfather, and had sought help from her brother who lives in Wangsa Maju.

The victim’s brother accompanied her to lodge a report at the Wangsa Maju police station on Tuesday. The case is being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape and the suspect has been remanded until June 27 pending investigations.
