KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 ― A 13-year-old-girl was unknowingly forced into having sex with three men by a woman she called “auntie”, a teacher told the Sessions Court during the trial of a policeman accused of raping the minor.
The teacher, a prosecution witness in the trial of deputy superintendent of police Rohaizat Abdul Ani, testified that the underaged girl had been living with a woman after running away from home, Sabah paper The Daily Express reported on its website today.
According to the teacher’s testimony, the girl claimed the unnamed woman had made her sleep with three men ― the policeman on trial, a doctor and an “Orang Putih” ― on five separate occasions to pay for rental of a house and as a source of income to help her family.
"The alleged victim did not mention the police officer's name but she knew the said officer's job as she overheard his conversation with the 'aunt'," the teacher, whose identity remains confidential to protect the identity of the underaged victim, was quoted saying in court.
“She also told me that the officer had asked her whether she had any friends, who were still virgins who could have sex with him,” he reportedly said.
According to the report, the teacher testified the first incident occurred between February and March 2012 at Tang Dynasty Hotel and that the police officer had raped and sodomised her on three separate occasions.
Rohaizat, 55, is accused of raping the then 13-year-old girl on four separate occasions at 3.30pm on February 1, 2012 in a room at Tang Dynasty Hotel, at 10am on February 2, 2012 in another room of the same hotel, between 7pm and 8pm, between May 1, 2012 and May 6 the same year in a room of the same hotel and at 3am between May 1, 2012 and May 6 the same year in a room of the same hotel.
Each charge under Section 376 (1) of the Penal Code carries a jail term of up to 20 years and liable to whipping on conviction.
Rohaizat is also accused of sodomising the girl at 3.30pm on February 1, 2012, in a room of the same hotel, an offence under Section 377B of the Penal Code which provides for an imprisonment of up to 20 years and liable to whipping on conviction.
The teacher, a guidance counsellor at the school of the alleged victim, told Judge Ainul Shahrin Mohamad yesterday that the victim had related all this to him during a counselling session on September 6, in 2012.
He said the victim had broke down several times during the hour long session and told him she had run away from home because she could not bear her mother calling her ‘anak sial’ (unlucky child) and a prostitute.
During questioning, the guidance counsellor said the girl was not aware she was being prostituted and that the girl did not tell him how much was paid every time.
At the end of the counselling session, the victim told him she wanted to make a police report to protect her younger siblings from going through the same experience.
