A 15-YEAR-OLD boy pleaded guilty in a magistrate’s court in Jelebu today to two counts of incest by raping his sister.

The 14-year-old girl gave birth last week.

The teenager made the plea in a closed-door proceeding before magistrate Norshazwani Ishak.

On the first count, he was charged with having sexual intercourse with his sister at about 11pm to midnight between June 21 and June 30 last year in a house in Felda Gugusan, Palong.

He was also charged with committing a similar offence on the girl at about the same time and the same location between September 1 and 10 last year.

The charges are punishable under section 376B(1) of the penal code, which provides for a jail term of between 10 and 30 years and whipping.

The court allowed the boy bail of RM4,000 in one surety and ordered him to report himself to a police station every month. He was also ordered not to contact or be near the victim.

The court set March 22 for the submission of the probation report by the Social Welfare Department.

Prosecuting officer Muhammad Nizam Rafii prosecuted while the boy was unrepresented. – Bernama, February 23, 2023.
