Alleged Tioman rape victim lodges police report

KUANTAN: The girl who claims to have been sexually assaulted in Pulau Tioman has lodged a police report against a Customs Department officer for allegedly raping her.

The 17-year-old girl alleged that the officer, who goes by the name of Kamil, was one of four individuals who raped her.

"On March 18, 2016, at daytime, I was called by Kamil to a room at the jetty Customs office. He told me to keep a rape committed against me the day before a secret.

"After that, he took off his shirt and forced me to give him a massage. A few minutes after that, Kamil took off his pants and forcefully removed my clothes," she said in her report filed here Saturday.

The girl claimed she tried to fight back but failed and Kamil proceeded to rape her.

She alleged that Kamil then told her not to lodge a police report or he would take action against her and her father.

It was reported that the series of sexual assaults took place between March and May after the girl took up a part-time job at the Kampung Tekek jetty.

The Form Four student claimed that she became semi-conscious after taking a soft drink given by a security guard on March 17 before she was gang-raped by four people at the jetty toilet and the Customs office.

She also claimed that a female neighbour sexually assaulted her on May 7 when she went to her house.

She alleged that the neighbour also took nude pictures and a video of her, which were then uploaded onto the Internet.

She then claimed the neighbour's brother proceeded to rape her after that.

Rompin OCPD Deputy Supt Muhammad Aidil Roneh Abdullah had said that six people, including a woman, were detained for investigations, but denied the involvement of a Customs personnel.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had assured that there would be no cover-up in criminal cases involving Government officers and no one would escape punishment if there was evidence of a crime.
