Over 140 reports of rape involving minors in Kedah this year: police

Case of underage driver in fatal motorcycle accident brought to light two more rape cases

ALOR SETAR – Kedah police have received over 140 reports of rape involving minors this year, to date, according to state police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh.

“Upon investigation, many of the cases involved consensual sex, but because the victims are minors, the cases are classified as (statutory) rape,” Bernama quoted him saying.

Fisol said this when giving an update on police investigations into Sunday’s fatal crash in Jalan Kuala Kedah here, where a 14-year-old female driver rammed into a motorcycle, killing the rider and injuring the pillion passenger.

Fisol said the underaged driver admitted to having sexual relations with two men prior to the accident. 

Police have classified those cases as rape, since she is a minor, and a new investigation paper has been opened under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code for rape.

“One of the men was arrested yesterday, while the other is being tracked down,” he told a press conference here today.

Fisol said a urine test on the teenager came back negative, and she is now under the care of the Social Welfare Department.

He said police have also called in her mother for questioning regarding the accident, and they are finalising the investigation papers before handing them over to the public prosecutor for further action.

The crash, meanwhile, is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Nur Shafiqah Abdullah, 32, was killed while her sister, Nooraliza, 43, was injured when a Proton Satria car driven by the teenage girl rammed into the motorcycle they were riding on. – October 26, 2023
