Cosmetics entrepreneur, friend remanded for allegedly grooming kids

KUALA LUMPUR – A cosmetics entrepreneur and his friend, suspected of making obscene communication with minors, were today remanded for three days by the Bandar Baru Bangi magistrates’ court here.

Sessions court judge Effandi Nazila Abdullah, acting as magistrate, issued the order against the two men, in their 20s, to facilitate investigations under Sections 12 and 15a of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 2018.

The suspects were represented by lawyer Nursyafiqah Zamani.

Yesterday, Bernama reported that police received a report from a public university lecturer who viewed an Instagram Live session by two accounts, namely “safieyillias94” and “pipinatasha”, that carried allegedly obscene content and in the presence of two minors.

Both suspects were also seen showing the children how to vape. – Bernama, June 11, 2021
