PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal reinstated an eight-month prison sentence on a 52-year-old man, for outraging the modesty of his teenage stepdaughter, overturning the High Court's earlier decision to acquit him.
A three-man bench, led by Justice Datuk Azman Abdullah, on Friday (Aug 15) allowed the prosecution's appeal, setting aside the High Court's acquittal and restoring the conviction and sentence imposed by the Magistrate's Court in November 2023.
