Girl claims rape by dad and uncle
JOHOR BARU: After years of hiding a horrible secret, a 12-year-old girl finally confessed that her own father and uncle had been raping her since she was nine.
She had been afraid and ashamed to tell anyone but unable to bear it any longer, the girl told all to her counselling teacher who questioned her as she suspected something was amiss after the girl began slacking in school and was always seen with a forlorn expression.
The teacher took her to the Skudai police station where she made a report at 12.50pm on Tuesday.
The victim claimed that her 61-year-old father and 53-year-old uncle had been taking turns raping her at their home in Felda Bukit Batu, Kulai, here since she was nine.
Johor Baru (North) OCPD Asst Comm Ruslan Hassan said that police have picked up the suspects and are currently conducting investigations.
“We have also sent the victim for a medical examination.
“Initial investigations revealed that both suspects, who work as Felda settlers have no prior records,” he said.
Meanwhile, in Pasir Mas, a Form Three student from Kampung Tendong has lodged a police report alleging that her father had been raping her since she was five years old.
She said in the latest incident, he had raped her last week just after she completed her PMR examinations.
The teenager, 15, overcame her fear of her father and confided in her student counsellor after she started feeling nauseous and became afraid that she was pregnant.
The counsellor coaxed her to make a police report on Monday. The next day, her gardener father was picked up for questioning.
Initial investigations revealed that the victim alleged her father had raped her for the last 10 years and she had been too afraid of him to tell her housewife mother who had no idea this was going on.
A district police spokesman confirmed the incident and said the girl has been sent to Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II for tests to determine if she was pregnant.
