KUCHING, Oct 15: A 19-year-old who raped a 14-year-old girl he met through TikTok, leaving her pregnant, has been ordered to be detained at Henry Gurney School by the Sessions Court here today.

Judge Iris Awen Jon ordered that he be detained at the institution for three years or until he turns 21, whichever comes first, with effect from the date of conviction.

The case was called up today for the court to review his social report.

The youth had earlier pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of up to 20 years and whipping.
