Man to serve 30 years in jail for rape, committing sexual assault on 12-year-old girl


PUTRAJAYA: An odd job worker will serve 30 years behind bars and receive eight strokes of the rotan for raping and committing sexual assault on a 12-year-old girl who later gave birth.

The Court of Appeal's three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, Datuk Hashim Hamzah and Datuk Azman Abdullah rejected Ruslan Bacika’s appeal to have the jail sentence for both offences to be served concurrently.
