SMS date ends in gang-rape for teen
BY OTHMAN YAHAYA
SUNGAI PETANI: A Form Three student who responded to an SMS from a stranger, was raped by him and six others until she lost consciousness.
The 16-year-old had received the SMS at about 10pm on Oct 13 while returning to her house in Taman Ria from her part-time job as a sundry shop assistant.
She responded out of curiosity and agreed to meet up with the youth at a telephone booth that night.
The suspect, who was waiting with two friends, invited her for a drink at a hawker centre in the town centre.
Kuala Muda OCPD Assistant Commissioner Law Hong Soon said she went on the youth's motorcycle while his friends followed on another motorcycle.
When the student asked the youth to send her home, he took her to his rented house in Taman Ria where his six friends were waiting.
ACP Law said the girl tried to escape but was prevented from doing so by the youths who took turns to rape her.
He said the girl claimed a teenage boy woke her up at 6am the next day and she was later taken by two men to a house in Kulim where she spent the night.
The men contacted her mother who had lodged a missing person's report at the police station here on Oct 15. The girl was reunited with her mother that day and lodged a police report the next day.
ACP Law said six boys, aged 17 and 18, were arrested at two locations here on Oct 17 and Oct 18. They have been remanded until Oct 30.
