Accepted Answer

Alleged Offences Span Over a Year, Involving Two Underage Sisters

Ibrahim Abul Salam, a 55-year-old Rohingya man, faces multiple charges for alleged sexual assault and rape against two underage girls, with the incidents spanning from 2021 to July of the current year. He pleaded not guilty to all charges at the Sessions Court.
Allegations of Rape in 2021

The timeline of alleged offences begins with Ibrahim accused of raping a 12-year-old girl and her eight-year-old sister at a house in Taman Senangin, Perai, sometime between January and December 2021. These alleged acts form the basis for two of the charges against him.
Sexual Assault Charges in July This Year

Further charges detail alleged sexual assault against the 12-year-old girl on July 12, around 11 am, at the same Perai residence. Additionally, Ibrahim is accused of sexually assaulting the eight-year-old sister on July 25 at approximately 1 pm, also at the same location.
Legal Framework and Potential Penalties

The charges are framed under Section 14 (a) of the Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017 for sexual assault, and Sections 376 (1) and 376 (2) of the Penal Code for rape. Conviction for these offences carries a potential penalty of up to 30 years in jail and whipping.
Bail Decision and Next Court Date

Bail was not offered for Ibrahim due to his proximity to the victims and the existence of three other potential victims in the same neighbourhood, necessitating protection for witnesses. The court has set September 2 as the next date for proceedings, pending the submission of medical and case reports.
