PETALING JAYA: A 14-year-old boy has been living in fear for the past three months after being repeatedly sodomised and threatened by a man claiming to be a martial arts instructor.
The man, in his 20s, first approached the victim outside his secondary school in Kepong in August on the pretext of offering free self-defence classes.
However, instead of giving self-defence lessons, the man took him to an apartment unit in Desa Aman Puri and sodomised him.
The victim who is also a diabetic, was sodomised again in early September in another apartment in Kepong.
The boy’s 53-year-old mother said he kept mum about the two incidents for fear of his own safety.
“The man threatened to hurt my son if he ever told us or the police about the attacks,” she said in a press conference organised by Taman Selayang Jaya MCA branch chairman Jessie Ooi at Wisma MCA Wednesday.
The woman alleged that the assailant sodomised her son again on Oct 22 in an apartment near a hypermarket in Kepong.
She said that her son only told her husband and her that he had been sexually abused when she discovered some blood after he had gone to the bathroom.
“We then lodged a police report at the Selayang police station on the same day,” she said, adding that her son stopped attending school three weeks ago.
“He is terrified the predator might hurt him she saw him again,” she said.
Meanwhile, Ooi said that the suspect is believed to have sexually abused another five students, two of whom attend the same school as the victim.
“We hope that the police will take serious actions against this predator,” she said.
When contacted, Gombak OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rahim Abdullah said police would investigate the matter. The Star
