KLANG: A couple was sentenced to five years’ jail each for committing physical sexual assault on a 14-year-old disabled girl.
Sessions Court judge Noridah Adam meted out the jail sentence yesterday on Khairul Hizwan Kamarudin, 33, and Norehan Abu Kasim, 36, who pleaded guilty on Dec 8 to three counts of sexual assaults by touching the girl’s body.
The court also sentenced the couple to two years’ jail for making the girl watch them engage in sex.
Khairul Hizwan was also jailed one year for having pornographic videos on his mobile phone.
Noridah ordered the jail sentences to run concurrently from the date of arrest on Dec 1 last year, Bernama reported.
The couple committed all the offences at a house in Kampung Bukit Changgang, Kuala Langat, on Nov 12 and Dec 1.
For the sexual assault charges, both were charged under Section 14(a) and 15(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
On the offence of being in possession of pornographic videos, Khairul Hizwan was charged under Section 292 (a) of the Penal Code.
According to the facts of the case, the couple sent a text message to the girl, asking her to come to their house to help with clothes-folding work.
When she arrived, she was told to fold the clothes in the bedroom where the offences were later committed.
