Former assistant bowling coach charged in molest case seven years ago acquitted


KUALA TERENGGANU: The Kuala Terengganu High Court on Thursday acquitted and discharged a former assistant bowling coach from charges of molesting a Malaysia Games athlete (Sukma), seven years ago.

Mat Salleh Jalani, 61, was acquitted of the charges after Judge Datuk Hassan Abdul Ghani accepted his appeal to set aside the conviction order and 18-month prison sentence handed out by the Magistrate's Court last January.
