PETALING JAYA: Victims of sexual harassment or other sex crimes should report to the police instead of sharing their experiences on social media, said Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division Assistant Direct Asst Comm Siti Kamsiah Hassan.

Noting that it had become a “culture” for the sufferer to relay their stories online amid the #MeToo movement, she cautioned that these online revelations could jeopardise police investigations or affect the emotional state of the victims even more.
