Malaysian police said on Monday (Jan 22) they were looking for a man who was caught on video molesting a young girl at a funfair in Kedah.
The man was seen fondling the chest of the child beneath her red dress while loud music plays in the background. The child’s face is not censored in the original video.
The preliminary investigation showed that the man who was accused of committing the act is a friend of the girl’s family.
“The man had gone to the woman’s house in Sungai Lalang at 11pm Saturday and asked her if he could take the girl out to buy some food. He brought the girl home about two hours later,” he said.
Saifi said an initial report also showed that the woman had confronted the man after she saw a video of the incident on Facebook yesterday evening.
He allegedly told her that he was sorry before fleeing the scene.
The woman came to the Sungai Petani police station to lodge a report at 2.50am today.
Saifi said based on the video clip, the incident took place at a funfair in Sungai Petani.
He said the girl has been taken to Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital for medical examination.
The case has been classified under Section 14(a) of Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
