PETALING JAYA: A 14 year-old boy was allegedly handcuffed and forced to receive oral sex from a man claiming to a police officer on Wednesday.

The boy was said to be playing with a friend near his a low cost apartment in Cheras when the suspect, who was described as dark-skinned and wearing a Batik shirt, walked up to the two.

“According to the victim, the man identified himself as a policeman and told the boys that he was a narcotics investigator,” said a police source familiar with the investigations.

The man had then asked the boys to show him where the drug hot spots were in their area, to which the unsuspecting boys volunteered to help and complied.

“The man had then molested both the boys before telling one of them to go home. He then too the victim on a motorcycle to another secluded corner,” said the source.

Away from any witnesses, the man suddenly handcuffed the boy and grabbed the latter’s private part. The suspect then forcefully performed oral sex on the boy.

“After the act took place, the man took off the handcuff and sent the victim to a nearby taman, told him to run and don’t look back,” said the source.

Following the incident, the boy went home and informed his family. A report was then lodged at the Pudu Ulu police station.

FMT understands that investigators are looking the case under Section 377B of the Penal Code for “carnal intercourse against the order of nature”.

“We haven’t got much leads yet. We’re trying to identify the suspect and find out if he is really a police officer,” said another source who admitted that the police have never encountered such a case as this before.

Meanwhile, various sources confirmed that a Facebook status by one “Alicia Ling Horsley” which has been circulating on the issue to be inaccurate.

“My cousin saw and (bravely) interrupted a man sporting police trousers, shoes and badge receiving a BJ from 9 year old child (handcuffed and crying). A police report has been made but they are advising him to stay quiet. As a mother, I am incensed,” wrote the Facebook user.

However, when FMT contacted the “cousin”, Wilson Wong, he said that he merely heard the story from a friend, who was related to the victim, when he himself was lodging a police report.

Asked to respond to the Facebook message, a senior police officer denied that the police have told the victims to hush up about the incident.

“Stop spreading stories because it’s not helping at all. We’re not denying that there is such a case and we do not condone such acts, whether it is from a policeman or anyone at all. We’re doing the best we can and I give you my word that we will nail him.” (FMT)
