PETALING JAYA: An employment agent, who allegedly dumped a maid’s baby recently, has told police that he separated the infant from one of the maids for fear of her spreading her Hepatitis B to the boy.

A spokesman for the Shah Alam police headquarters said the man, in his 40s, who allegedly kept a bevy of maids as sex slaves, had told police in his statement that he separated the six-month-old child from his mother because she had Hepatitis B and he was worried that the disease might affect the baby’s health.
