Uni student nabbed for having self-produced child sexual abuse material among other pornographic content
It is learnt that the police believe he also produced some of the illicit materials himself, involving two local child victims.
The suspect was detained on April 29 in Pasir Gudang, Johor, during a joint operation led by the Malaysian Internet Crime Against Children (MICAC) unit under Bukit Aman CID's Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division (D11), together with the Johor police and in collaboration with Google.
Bukit Aman D11 principal assistant director Senior Asst Comm Siti Kamsiah Hassan said that an inspection of the suspect's devices uncovered thousands of explicit files, some believed to have been downloaded from the Internet, while others were allegedly created by the suspect himself.
'Further investigation revealed that the suspect had sexually exploited two young female cousins, aged four and nine,' she said in a statement on Thursday.
SAC Kamsiah said the suspect was believed to have recorded the acts using his mobile phone at three different locations – in Selangor, Pahang and Kelantan," she said.
Police have since seized a mobile phone and laptop for further investigation under Section 10 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 and Section 292 of the Penal Code for sale of obscene material, she said.
"Three separate investigation papers have been opened to facilitate investigations in the respective states.
"The suspect has already been charged in Johor for the possession of CSAM and adult pornography on May 22, where he pleaded guilty and was fined RM5,000.
'For the offence of recording explicit acts involving the children at his family home in Sungai Buloh between 2023 and 2025, the suspect was charged on Thursday in Klang,' she added.
Another incident involving the recording of one of the victims while bathing in a plantation toilet in Maran, Pahang, is still under review by the Deputy Public Prosecutor.
SAC Siti Kamsiah also said that another case, involving recordings made at the suspect's grandmother's home in Kelantan in 2023 and 2024, is currently under review by the Attorney General's Chambers.

Three held for selling fake medical certificates
SUNGAI PETANI: Three men have been arrested on suspicion of being masterminds in the sale of fake medical certificates (MCs) in the district over the past two years. Kuala Muda district police chief ACP Hanyan Ramlan said the group's modus operandi involved issuing MCs without the need for any medical consultation or treatment. He said the case came to light during a probe into a breach of integrity involving a low-ranking police personnel who had frequently submitted MCs. 'This led to the discovery of the group selling fake MCs,' he told a press conference at the Kuala Muda district police headquarters here yesterday. He said during a raid on a premises in Taman Songket Indah near here on June 26, police seized various items including about 20 fake MCs, tablets, rubber stamps bearing the names of doctors, A4-sized paper, a laptop and a printer, Bernama reported. He said the three unemployed suspects, in their 30s and 40s, allegedly sold fake MCs for RM25 to RM30, targeting civil servants as their primary 'customers'. The main suspect was found to be a heart patient currently receiving treatment at a hospital, he added. 'During each hospital visit, the suspect would note down the attending doctor's name and later use it on rubber stamps. 'Most of the names were those of actual doctors, but the job titles were inaccurate,' ACP Hanyan said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 468 of the Penal Code.
