Terengganu police were able to capture a suspected serial paedophile after an eight-year-old student exposed his attacks to a teacher.<\/p>\n
Terengganu Criminal Investigations Department chief Assistant Commissioner Fazlisyam Abdul Majid said police arrested the 20-year old air-conditioning technician on March 27 at his home here, following a report by the teacher.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect would often target students waiting for their parents to fetch them from school, before approaching them on the pretext of looking for the toilet or visiting his sibling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would then threaten the victims to keep quiet and the traumatised students would comply as the suspect starts recording the lewd act,\u201d he said in a press conference today.<\/p>\n
Police also seized two mobile phones, one of which contained 15 videos of the suspect molesting his young victims.<\/p>\n
Fazlisyam said police believed the suspect has been committing the acts since last year and many went unreported.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring normal schooling days, the suspect would prey his victims between 1 to 2pm and on the weekends between 4 to 6pm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The suspect, who has a previous conviction for trespassing, would target girls aged between eight and 12, in schools located within Marang and nearby Kuala Terengganu.<\/p>\n
A total of 13 victims have been positively identified, most of them in Marang.<\/p>\n
Initial investigations showed the videos were not circulated publicly and was for the suspect\u2019s personal use.<\/p>\n
Fazlisyam the federal police were now involved in the probe, due to the high number of victims, and will thoroughly investigate the man.<\/p>\n
He then advised parents to be more careful and vigilant with their children.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunicate with your children. Ask them everyday if anything is wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must protect our children because paedophilia is a serious matter,\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
