Prosecution

Amirul Hazwan bin Abd Rahman

Defendant

Procedural Posture

Criminal / Judgment and Sentencing (end of Defence)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether prosecution proved elements of Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017
  2. 2 Whether the defence raised a reasonable doubt at the conclusion of the trial
  3. 3 Credibility and competence of the child victim's testimony

Ratio Decidendi

The prosecution established all elements of Section 14(a) by credible, consistent testimony of the child victim corroborated by parents and police report; the accused's persistent denial and testimony of interested family members did not create a reasonable doubt; conviction under S14(a) and consequent sentence were therefore justified.
