KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government has supported the proposal by state police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat to review existing laws on statutory rape so that both consenting parties involved can be held accountable, not just the male partner.
Kelantan Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan, said it is unfair for only the male party to face legal consequences in cases where both individuals willingly engaged in sexual activity.
