SHAH ALAM – Police have arrested a reality TV show star over the alleged rape of a 23-year-old woman last year.
The suspect was arrested at the Shah Alam police headquarters yesterday, following a report filed by the victim a day earlier.
District police chief Baharudin Mat Taib said the woman said she got to know the 25-year-old suspect through the social media app Instagram and they met on September 11, last year about 8pm to discuss Islamic medical treatments for depression.
"The suspect took the victim to an eatery in Batu 3, Shah Alam, before taking her to his condominium unit in Section 7, where she was raped.
“The next day, about 6.40am, the suspect warned the victim to keep the incident a secret before she went back to her rented house in Subang Jaya using an e-hailing service," Baharudin said in a statement today.
Baharudin said following the incident, the victim was admitted to Kajang Hospital on September 23, 2019, due to severe emotional stress, and was referred for psychiatric treatment.
He said the victim then returned to her family home in Triang, Pahang, in October 2019 and continued treatment at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh. – Bernama, November 27, 2020
