KUALA LUMPUR: A teenager was allegedly sodomised and wrongfully confined on the pretext of finding work through social media.
Sources said the 18-year-old boy was offered assistance in finding a job by a male suspect.
Several days after getting to know each other, the suspect offered to give the victim a ride to a supposed work site.
"The victim agreed. The suspect fetched him from his home in Bukit Jalil.
"The suspect brought the victim to his home in Kampung Pandan and promised to bring him to a supermarket for work," the source said.
While the victim was brought to the hypermarket for work, he was also brought back to the suspect's home.
"The victim was instructed to do house work and not allowed to leave the house.
"He was wrongfully confined for 10 days and sodomised by the suspect several times," the source said.
The victim was also threatened not to reveal what happened before he was eventually allowed to go home.
The victim, who was traumatised, only told his family of the ordeal recently and lodged a police report on Monday (Sept 11).
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Rahman confirmed receiving the report and the case was being investigated under Section 377C of the Penal Code.
"We have identified the suspect and the case is still ongoing.
"We are in the process of receiving the medical report on the victim," he added.
