Summary of the article:
An ex-convict raped a 11-year-old girl, who was kidnapped and managed to convince him to take her home.This ex-convict was promptly arrested. According to the article, the girl told the suspect she was an only child and came from a poor family. The suspect kidnapped the victim to ride pillion on his motorcycle. The suspect was convinced by her story and dropped her at the doorstep of her house. She then got her father and neighbours to nab the man.

The girl said the suspect took her to a house in Ketereh about 40km from her house. State CID chief ACP Mazlan Lazim who confirmed the incident said police was investigating the case under Section 363 and Section 376 of the Penal Code for kidnap and rape respectively.

Comment on this article:

This ex-convict was investigated that he kidnapped and raped the child. In this case, he will be charged under Section 363 and Section 376 of the Penal Code for kidnap and rape which is the Punishment for kidnapping, whoever kidnaps any person from Malaysia or from lawful guardianship, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine and Punishment for rape, whoever commits rape shall be punished with imprisonment for a term of not less than five years and not more than twenty years, and shall also be liable to whipping.

In my opinion, I think this ex-convict should face both of these punishments if he found guilty even he has the mercy of sending the child back to her home but at the very first moment when he decides to convince the child to follow him back and attempt to kidnap the child, he should know the consequences on everything that he had done.
