KUALA LUMPUR: A video clip depicting a 14-year-old girl having sex with a 46-year-old extra police constable is believed to be circulating in Raub, Pahang.
When the girl’s father heard about the clip being passed around, he lodged a police report and the man, who does carpentry work at a police station, was arrested.
An extra police constable does odd jobs like carpentry and chauffeuring.
They do not get involved in operational matters even though they are full-time policemen with a fixed salary, which is less than ordinary constables.
It is learnt the man, with the rank of L/Kpl, was picked up from his house in Raub last Friday.
The girl is alleged to have had an affair with the man for several months and she only informed her mother about the relationship after a friend told her about the video clip.
Pahang CID chief Asst Comm T. Narenasegaran confirmed police had arrested the man for alleged statutory rape. A one-week remand order has been obtained to facilitate investigations.

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."

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)
