Has person who uploaded video committed an offence?

The man is also seen fondling the chest of the child beneath her red dress while loud music plays in the background.

PETALING JAYA: Even as police arrested the man suspected of molesting a young girl at a funfair in Sungai Petani, Kedah, a debate has arisen over whether or not the person who uploaded the video clip of the alleged crime online was justified in doing so.

Child rights lawyer Srividhya Ganapathy said any person failing to give information about sexual offences against children to the authorities is committing an offence under Section 19 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
