GEORGE TOWN: A 13-year old girl who was allegedly turned into a sex slave by her father and molested by her brothers for the past five years finally plucked up the courage to lodge a report on Wednesday.
The Form One pupil confided in her teachers the trauma she had been subjected to at her home since she was 9 years old.
Following the report, police arrested her 47-year-old father and her older brothers aged 15 and 17.
The father, an odd job labourer allegedly raped her on several occasions, while her brothers took turns to molest her.
The girl told police that the first time her father raped her was when she was 9 years old.
She said she had gone with her father to collect banana leaves when he raped her.
After that incident, she was paid between RM1 and RM2 by her father each time he sexually abused her.
The girl did not disclose this to her mother, who is a housewife, as she was afraid.
But on Wednesday, she decided to reveal all to her teacher, as she was afraid that her younger sisters, aged 7 and 9, would suffer the same fate. The victim has seven siblings.
Her teacher then took her to the Bukit Mertajam police station where a report was lodged.
State Criminal Investigation Department chief SAC II Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said the girl was also raped in her house and in a secondary forest in Berapit.
He said all three suspects were picked up from their homes on Wednesday, adding that the case was classified as rape and molest.
In an unrelated development, Wan Abdullah said said police have also arrested a 19-year-old man for allegedly raping his 22-year-old girlfriend.
He said the suspect took advantage of the victim after taking her to a hotel room in George Town last March.
Wan Abdullah said the victim lodged a report on Wednesday and the police detained the suspect shortly after.
