SHAH ALAM: A television personality has been arrested for allegedly raping a 23-year-old woman.
Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Baharudin Mat Taib said the 25-year-old man was arrested by police around 11 p.m. on Thursday (November 26).
He said the victim had met the suspect through Instagram and dated him around 8 p.m. on September 11 last year, under the guise of helping her with her depression.
“The suspect had taken the victim to a restaurant on Batu 3, Shah Alam, and then to his home on Seksyen 7 here, supposedly to give a more detailed explanation on how to ‘cure’ her depression.
“While there, the victim claimed that she was raped by the suspect. The next day, at 6.40 am, the suspect had warned the victim to keep the assault a secret,” he said in a statement.
He then escorted her to the lobby before putting her on an electronic call service so she could return to her rented house in Subang Jaya, ACP Baharudin said.
“The victim was admitted to Kajang Hospital on September 23 last year after suffering emotional distress. He also received psychiatric treatment.
“She also returned to her hometown in Pahang the following month and was subsequently kept in a hospital in Temerloh for five days.
“She is still going to receive follow-up treatments at the hospital there,” he added.
The victim filed a police report on the incident on November 25.
The suspect is expected to be taken into custody on Friday.
