IPOH (Bernama): A disabled man pleaded not guilty to five counts of sexual harassment and unnatural sex with his daughter in Batu Gajah.
The 43-year-old visually-impaired man made the plea on Friday after the charges were read out in the presence of Judge Norashima Khalid.
He is charged under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children 2017 which provides for a jail sentence of up to 20 years and whipping, as well as police supervision of up to three years, if convicted. If convicted, the accused could be jailed up to 20 years and placed under police supervision for up to three years.
Earlier, Khairul Fairuz asked the court to allow the accused minimum bail as he had eyesight problems following an accident while he was working in a factory 13 years ago and was now dependent on Social Security aid each month, and had four school-going children.
