The suspect was detained at about 10.30pm on Thursday (Sept 7) in Taman Saga, he said.
"He works as a delivery rider and has two prior criminal offences.
"The suspect denied he had raped or molested the victim and claimed that she made up the story as he was strict with her," he added.
ACP Mohd Azam said medical officers at Hospital Ampang confirmed that the victim experienced tears in her private parts.
"The suspect has been remanded until Sept 14 for further investigation," he said.
