PETALING JAYA: Police have detained a religious teacher for allegedly sodomising two students since last year.

The suspect is alleged to have sodomised the students, both aged 12, more than 10 times.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mazlan Mansor said police picked up the suspect in his early 20’s from a hostel in Damansara at midnight on Sunday after a family member of one of the students lodged a report.

“The victim could not stand the man’s indecent acts anymore and informed his family,” he said.
ACP Mazlan said initial investigations showed that the man had sodomised his victims at the hostel and had warned them against telling anyone.

He said the man had been remanded for seven days.
