KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here ordered a 20-year-old youth, who pleaded guilty to physical sexual assault of a six-year-old boy, to be sent to the Henry Gurney School in Melaka.
"Taking into account that the accused has no previous criminal records, is still underaged, and in the interest of the public, he is ordered to be detained at the Henry Gurney School until he reaches 21. This order is as per Section 76 of the Child Act 2001," said Judge Tasnim Abu Bakar on Monday (Dec 18).
