Acting Kelantan police chief Zaki Harun said the 30-year-old male suspect was arrested at the school this morning after the victim lodged a report.

According to Sinar Harian, Zaki said the incident was only made known recently after the victim told his family that he was allegedly sodomised since he was 10 years old.

“Based on the victim’s initial testimony, the alleged incidents had been taking place since 2018.

“The suspect has been detained for further investigation and the victim has been sent to hospital for examination.”

Zaki said the suspect did not have a criminal record.

“Further investigations are still under way, including the number of times the victim was sodomised and the location of these incidents.”

The case is being investigated under Section 377C of the Penal Code for committing unnatural sex and Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 for physical sexual assault on a child.
