For two additional charges, she is accused of non-physical sexual offences against the same victim, including sending images of her private parts via WhatsApp for sexual purposes and allegedly inducing the victim to send similar images.
For these offences, she was charged under Sections 15(a)(i) and 15(a)(ii) of Act 792, read together with Section 16 of the same Act, which carry a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to RM20,000.
Accused seeks leniency in bail
Deputy Public Prosecutor Norazihah Asmuni offered bail at RM30,000 for each charge with one surety, along with additional conditions, including monthly police reporting, no contact with the victim or prosecution witnesses until the case is concluded, and surrendering her passport.
Defence lawyer Zaflee Pakwanteh requested a lower bail, stating his client is a teacher earning RM6,000 a month, married with two children, and could only afford RM5,000 bail per charge.
He also informed the court that the accused had been transferred to the District Education Office following a police report lodged against her.
The court then set bail at RM25,000 for all charges, with the three additional conditions requested by the prosecution.
