The 29-year-old woman from Peringat here claimed that despite her son singling the suspect out in an identification parade, the case had yet to be concluded.
“My son is never the same after the incident,” she said at her home on Sunday.
The woman said the alleged incident took place on July 20. She said her son came home crying and complained of pain in his anus.
"I then asked him what had taken place and he told me that an elderly relative had an unnatural act with him in some bushes nearby.
"I was extremely shocked and brought him to the Universiti Sains Malaysia hospital in Kubang Kerian for a checkup.
"After an examination, the doctor confirmed there was penetration in my son's anus," she said.
She added the hospital authorities reported the matter to the Welfare Department and the police.
She said her son had identified the suspect in an identification parade after she lodged a police report on July 21.
"I had been anxiously waiting for the case to be closed and for authorities to bring the person to justice although I had received threats from his family members to settle the matter.
"However, the Welfare Department officials told me not to keep the matter a secret and should see this case out," she said.
District police chief Assistant Comm of Police Baharom Abu, when contacted via text message, said the case was still being investigated and that the police had arrested the 62-year-old suspect.
He was remanded for three days.
ACP Baharom said the suspect was allowed police bail owing to his age and physical condition.
He said police were waiting for the full medical report from the hospital before handing the case to the state Deputy Public Prosecutor for follow-up.
He said the case was being investigated under Section 377 of the Penal Code for unnatural carnal intercourse against the order of nature.
It is learnt that the suspect is in Kuala Lumpur.
