A man was charged in the Special Court for Sexual Crimes Against Children here today with 182 counts of sodomising, raping and conducting physical sexual assault on his daughter, who is now 15 years old.
The accused, a 36-year-old unit trust agent, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial to all the charges, each of which was read out by a court interpreter before judge Yong Zarida Sazali.
He was charged with 250 counts of committing carnal intercourse three times daily on the girl at their house in Sungai Way, Petaling jaya, between 6 am and midnight from Jan 1 to 19 , this year and everyday in March this year.
The charge, under Section 377C of the Penal Code, provides an imprisonment for up to 20 years and whipping, if found guilty.
The man, who is unrepresented, was also charged with 30 counts of committing physical sexual assault on the girl, who is his oldest of three children, three times daily on July 11 to 20 this year at the same place.
The charge, under Section 14/16 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, provides an imprisonment for up to 20 years and whipping, if found guilty.
He was also charged under Section 31(1)(a) and Section 31(1)(b) of the Child Act 2016, with sexually abusing the girl between Jan 1 and July 21 this year and faced an imprisonment for up to 20 years, or fine, or both, if found guilty.
The man was also charged with raping the girl at the same place at 2 pm last July 21.
The charge, under Section 376B (1) of the Penal Code, provides an imprisonment for up to 30 years and whipping, if found guilty.
The court set tomorrow to continue to read out more than 400 charges against him for committing unnatural sex with the girl and did not allow him bail as the offences involved were serious.
Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Nordalina Ali, who prosecuted, informed the court that there were many more charges against the man that were not filed and requested for the case to be postponed to tomorrow.
She did not offer bail as the offences were non bailable and serious.
“The victim is his 15-year-old biological daughter and at the time of arrest, they were staying in the same house. If bail is allowed, it is feared that the accused will intimidate the prosecution witnesses, especially the victim and her mother since the police report was lodged by the victim’s mother,” she said.
