Kindie owner in rape case freed

Free to go: Ewe leaving the court in George Town after he was freed of the rape charge.

GEORGE TOWN: A kindergarten co-owner who was found guilty of raping a four-year-old girl was freed after a High Court which heard his appeal ruled that the girl’s testimony was “far-fetched and implausible”.

Justice Zamani Abdul Rahim said the court could not blindly accept what was stated by a child of tender years, adding that her evidence must be corroborated.
