KOTA KINABALU: A jobless man has been arrested for allegedly raping his 14-year-old girlfriend in Sabah’s east coast Tawau district. Tawau police chief Asst Comm Jasmin Hussin said the arrest was made after a report lodged by the girl’s mother the previous day. Based on their probe, he said, the suspect lived in the same house in Balung as the victim, adding that the incident occurred on Nov 16. “The mother lodged the report after the daughter related the (alleged) incident to her,” he said in a statement on Friday (Nov 22). ACP Jasmin advised the public, particularly parents, not to leave their children unsupervised with unfamiliar individuals.
