KUALA TERENGGANU – A factory supervisor was fined RM16,000 by the sessions court here today after he pleaded guilty to two counts of uploading pornographic content using Google Drive five years ago with the intent to offend others.
Judge Nooriah Osman meted out the sentence on Ahmad Tarmizi Mohd, 28, who admitted to committing the acts with the video and photos later viewed by the complainant at a house in Padang Sena here at midnight, May 11, 2017.
The charge, framed under Section 233 (1) (a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, provides a maximum fine of RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to one year or both, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Fazril Sani Mohamed Fadzil prosecuted while Tarmizi was unrepresented.
Earlier, Tarmizi pleaded for a lenient sentence on the grounds that he had repented.
The accused paid the fine. – Bernama, March 14, 2022
