KUCHING, Oct 7: A 31-year-old kitchen assistant was jailed for seven years and ordered to be caned five times by the Sessions Court today after pleading guilty to raping his 15-year-old girlfriend, who later became pregnant.
The accused admitted to the offence when a single charge under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code was read before Judge Musli Abdul Hamid.
The court heard that he raped the teenager at a house along Jalan Desa Wira at about 11pm in mid-February this year.
The offence came to light on Sept 28 when a medical officer examining the teenager discovered that she was 26 weeks pregnant and unmarried.
