Sabah lawyers want answers over discharge for accused in child sex offence case

By MUGUNTAN VANAR

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s legal fraternity wants answers from the prosecution as to why they withdrew charges against a 53-year-old man who allegedly fondled a 10-year-old girl.

The Sabah Law Society (SLS) said it was shocked by the withdrawal of the case that allowed for the suspect to be freed by the Sessions Court after it was informed that the victim’s mother had withdrawn the report.
