Cops nab child molest suspect


Despicable act: A still from the video showing the suspect touching the girl at the funfair in Taman Ria, Sungai Petani

SUNGAI PETANI: The man who allegedly molested a seven-year-old girl at a funfair here has been arrested.

It was an utter betrayal of trust – he was known to her family and said he was taking her out for a quick trip to buy food – only to be caught on camera touching her inappropriately. Police managed to track him down and arrest him at 3.10pm yesterday.
