PETALING JAYA: A social media influencer pleaded not guilty at the Kangar sessions court in Perlis today to raping a girl aged 14 years and 10 months at a house in Jalan Tiong, Taman Kangar, on June 17.
Bernama reported that Iman Hazriq Azizan, 23, entered his plea after the charge against him was read out before judge Sharifah Norazlita Syed Salim Idid.
The charge was framed under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code, which provides for 10 to 30 years’ imprisonment and whipping upon conviction.
The court allowed bail of RM13,000 with one surety and ordered Iman to report to the nearest police station monthly and to refrain from contacting the victim or prosecution witnesses until the case is concluded.
The court fixed Aug 14 for mention of the case. Deputy public prosecutor Nabilah Ahmad Poad appeared for the prosecution, while Iman was unrepresented.
