Sepang police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the 34-year-old man was arrested at 11.15pm last night after the victim lodged a police report earlier in the day. He has been remanded for five days until Wednesday.

“The complainant met the suspect through social media, believing that he could predict her future and remove her bad luck,” he said in a statement today.

The 24-year-old victim, known as Linda, had told reporters in Kuala Lumpur earlier today she had been raped by the man for the past year.

She said she had been deceived by the services offered by the suspect through advertisements on social media to change her fortune.
