KUCHING, Nov 3: A 16-year-old boy was ordered today to be detained at the Henry Gurney School for three years after he was found to have sexually assaulted his 15-year-old girlfriend in April.
Magistrate Ling Hui Chuan handed down the order after reviewing a probation report on the teenager.
The youth had earlier pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping upon conviction.
The offence took place at a bus stop along Jalan FAC Matang at about 8pm on April 18.
