Ballsy Rapist sentenced 27 years in jail

KUALA LUMPUR: A jobless man who raped a Vietnamese girl at a massage parlour, forced its caretaker to watch the act and then rob the centre was jailed 27 years and ordered to be whipped nine times.

Mohamad Fadzlie M. Rosdi, 20, whose rape victim told the police that he had ball bearings in his private parts, cried when he was approached by his father, kissed his mother’s hand and hugged his brother after the verdict was handed down.

Former contractor Mohd Khairell Idzham Hashim, 21, who slashed the caretaker’s left ear (the victim required 120 stitches for his injuries) and a cosmetics salesman’s hand, received 30 years’ jail and 10 strokes of the rotan.

The statement of facts revealed that Mohamad Fadzlie raped the 18-year-old girl on a sofa and forced the caretaker and another Vietnamese woman to watch it at Seasons House Theraphy Centre in Setapak at 1am on Nov 25.

Upon hearing the court judgment yesterday, the family members and friends of both accused wept openly.

When Mohamad Fadzlie’s father told him that “we will see you in jail tomorrow”, the younger man broke down.

Judge Emelia Kaswati Mohamad Khalid said the Sessions Court considered that both accused, who had been detained at two rehabilitation centres for two years under the Emergency Ordinance, were only released in March.

“You still are not remorseful. It is more cruel when you committed the rape in front of others,” she said, adding that the court had also taken into account a parang was used to cause injury to two victims.

“I hope the sentence will give a lesson for you. Go into religion while you are in jail. You learn to pray,” she told both accused.

Emelia sentenced Mohamad Fadzlie to 15 years in jail and five strokes of the rotan for rape and 12 years and two strokes of the rotan for each of the two causing hurt in committing robbery charges. The jail term for causing hurt will run concurrently.

Emelia gave Mohd Khairell 15 years and five strokes of the rotan for each of the two charges of causing hurt in committing robbery.

The judge made the order after hearing the victim impact statements from caretaker Jong Chiak Eng and salesman Teoh Chee Fah.

Yesterday, Jong said his ear was slashed by the accused, adding that not long after the attack, his ear fell off and he had to see a specialist to re-attach it.

Teoh said he could still feel pain in his left hand after the incident.

He is said, on a second occasion, to have sexually abused her at the same staircase landing.

He allegedly made her perform oral sex on him at a staircase landing of Loyang Point in Pasir Ris Street 21, and had sex with her twice - at his flat in March last year and at a staircase landing of Loyang Point between late May and early June the same year.

Boyfriend of Amy Winehouse 'raped woman as she slept'

The boyfriend of late Grammy-winning British singer Amy Winehouse allegedly raped a female friend while she was asleep, a British court heard Monday.

Reg Traviss, 35, a film director who was dating Winehouse when she died of alcohol poisoning at her London home in July last year, faces two counts of rape at Southwark Crown Court in London.

The prosecution claims Traviss attacked the woman, a friend, after she was so drunk she could not stand.

The complainant, who spoke from behind a screen, told the jury of six men and six women that Traviss had been "shattered and quite distressed" by Winehouse's death when she saw him six weeks before the alleged rapes.

She said she saw Traviss three or four times a year, but there was no indication of romance.

The court heard that Traviss and the complainant had been drinking at three bars in London on December 30 last year before going to his home.

The woman alleges she fell asleep twice and woke up to Traviss raping her.

The court heard that the woman could not find her underwear when she was about to leave Traviss' home.

Prosecutor Kate Lumsdon said Traviss told the alleged victim: "I actually want to keep them."

The court heard that in the new year the complainant travelled to New York to stay with a friend and waited about three weeks before reporting Traviss to police once she returned to London.

But Ian Winter, a defence lawyer for Traviss, said the two were equally drunk and had consensual sex. The claims were "frankly absurd", he said.

After the alleged rapes the pair texted each other about possibly meeting up the following night to go to a band's after-show party.

The trial continues.
