The 42-year-old man allegedly sodomised the girl at a house in Sentul here on two occasions.
The first incident allegedly took place between 8pm and 8.30pm on July 18, 2003.
He allegedly sodomised the 13-year-old girl again between 9pm and 9.30pm on March 2, 2004.

About Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness)
- Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness)
- is the natural extension of Shelter Home for Children's (a registered welfare organisation which was started in 1981) mission to aid abused, abandoned or neglected children through our homes and services. As such, Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness) was started in April 2007 to be a stronger voice for children in Malaysia who have been abused or violated.
Purpose/objectives of the news tracker
Daniel Schorr of CBS News says, "All news is an exaggeration of life." But, life should not be a casual dismissal and forgetting of the many instances of abuse and violation of our children.
Shelter News Tracker is then an attempt to record and track the many reports and court cases of abuse that is reported daily in our Malaysian online newspapers. In this way, Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness) hopes to be a voice and a record for the innocents in our society.
After all, a Chinese proverb says, "Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away."
(Please note that the editorials, letters and opinions selected from the online newspapers and posted here do not necessarily reflect the views of Shelter.)

His name is Today
We are guilty of many errors and many faults
but our worst crime
is abandoning the children,
neglecting the fountain of life.
Many of the things we need can wait.
The child cannot.
Right now is the time
his bones are being formed,
his blood is being made,
and his senses are being developed.
To him we cannot answer
'Tomorrow.'
His name is 'Today.'”
Gabriela Mistral (Chilean poet, 1889-1957)
