THE government may consider putting matters relating to sodomy crime under the proposed sexual harassment law, instead of maintaining it under the Penal Code (Act 574) as is the case presently. This is due to the concern put forward by some people that such Penal Code is no longer effective in dealing with the matter in our country.
Sexual harassment is not only confined to small acts of harassment through words or minor touching, it can also involve a high level of harassment like physical sexual attack on the victim. Any act of physical sexual attack can be considered sexual harassment and this includes molestation, sodomy as well as rape.
