A LORRY driver pleaded guilty at the Sessions Court in Klang today to two counts of sexually exploiting his wife and a daughter between January 2015 and February 2020.

The 43-year-old man made the plea after the charges were read out to him before judge Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain.

The court set August 19 to obtain the facts of the case.

On the first count, he was charged with sexually exploiting his wife, aged 37, at a water treatment plant and a condominium unit at 2 Batu 9 Cheras between January 2015 and May 2019.

The charge was framed under Section 13(b) of the Anti-Trafficking In Persons And Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007, which provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine, if found guilty.

He was also charged with sexually exploiting his daughter, aged 13, at the same condominium unit, between January 2019 and February 2020.

The charge, under Section 14 of the same law, also provides a similar punishment, upon conviction.

The accused, who was not represented, was remanded in custody. – Bernama, August 6, 2020.
