Sessions Court 1 judge Mazdi Abdul Hamid sentenced Abdul Mutalib to eight years’ jail with two strokes of the rotan after he admitted to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old primary school student in Sungai Ara between 2017 and 2018. However, Norsalha ordered him to serve the jail sentences concurrently so he will be serving a total eight years’ jail with six strokes of the rotan.
“The court hopes the sentence will serve as a lesson to you, and as a deterrent to others, not to commit the same offence,” she said.
