SEREMBAN: A cafe worker has claimed trial at the Sessions Court here to a charge of raping a girl who was a month short of turning 16. Abu Suffian Hashim, 23, pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him before judge Surita Budin on Friday (Jan 30). He was charged with committing the offence around 5.30pm on a day in May last year along a road near Taman Bahagia Delima in Kuala Pilah. The accused, who was unrepresented, pleaded for a low bail amount. Judge Surita then set bail at RM12,000 with one surety.
