THE 12-year-old girl who went missing in Klang and was found safe after four days is believed to have been molested and almost sold to a prostitution syndicate in Chow Kit, said Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan.
He said the deal failed as the perpetrators found out that the police had publicly released information on the girl’s disappearance.
"The victim was taken in a car where there were two men and two women.
"Investigations revealed that the girl was taken to an apartment in Setia Alam and molested by two of the suspects - a 13-year-old boy and 23-year-old man when she was there," he told a press conference today.
He said the victim got into the car with the suspects after she recognised one of the girls who was the ex-girlfriend of her brother.
Hussein said the leader of the group attempted to sell the girl off to the ring which is within the Chow Kit area but the girl was told to go back to the six suspects when the deal failed.
It was reported recently that the girl was reported missing on Oct 8 when she went to retrieve food from a car parked at her flat in Bandar Bukit Tinggi 1, Klang.
South Klang police chief Cha Hoong Fong in a statement, said the victim was found at about 2.30 pm on Oct 12.
Six people including two women, aged between 13 and 23, were arrested and under remand to facilitate police investigations into the case.
Police are still looking for two more suspects, believed to be linked to the prostitution ring.- October 17, 2024
