Youth claims trial to raping teenage girlfriend
KOTA KINABALU (July 8): A 19-year-old unemployed youth claimed trial in a Sessions Court here to raping his teenage girlfriend.
Eryidley Jarry, who appeared before judge Amir Shah Amir Hassan, was accused of raping the 14-year-old girl inside a car parked at the roadside in Tuaran at 1am on June 25.
The alleged offence was under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping, upon conviction.
The court set August 8 to re-mention the case and released Eryidley on RM6,000 bail with two local sureties.
Eryidley, who was unrepresented, was ordered to report to a nearest police station once a month and to surrender his passport, if any, to the court, pending disposal of his case.
He was unrepresented.
In an unrelated case, a company was fined by another Sessions Court here for separate charges of allowing illegal immigrants to remain in premises.
Judge Hurman Hussain fined the company RM15,000 after its representative admitted to give permission for undocumented Indonesians to be at a factory in Ranau on October 24, 2023.
The offence was under Section 55E (1) of the Immigration Act 19563.
