SELANGOR – A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for abusing several boys under his care.
The sentence was handed down after Muhammad Barur Rahim Hisam pleaded guilty to four charges levelled against him.
Barur, who is a teacher and caretaker at a children’s home managed by Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) Holdings, was accused of using a cane and other forms of aggression to abuse the boys.
The court ordered the sentences to run consecutively, which means that Barur would have to serve out the decade.
According to the facts of the case, Barur had abused three boys aged between 10 and 12.
The judgment was delivered by Sessions Court Judge Noridah Adam.
On Sept 25, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said a man would be charged at Klang Sessions court on Sept 26 with abusing children in one of the care homes linked to GISB
“The suspect, who is connected with a viral video that showed children being abused at a care home linked to GISB, will be charged tomorrow,” he said when contacted on Sept 25.
Previously, the police started an investigation over a video that showed a child being abused.
Officers managed to track down the boy, who was among the 572 children rescued during Ops Global since Sept 11.
The boy was also one of the children who has been separated from his father since 2021. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
