Teacher pleads guilty to molesting nine-year-old student

KUALA LUMPUR: A jawi teacher pleaded guilty in a magistrate's court here to molesting a nine-year-old pupil in a religious school classroom last year.
Husin Rohimi, 36, from Kodiang in Kedah, was accused of committing the offence at a Year Two classroom of a school here at 10.30am on Nov 10.
He was charged under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which provides for up to 10 years' jail or a fine or whipping or any two such punishments upon conviction.
The girl's mother had lodged a police report over the molestation on May 25 this year.
A prosecuting officer asked the court to set bail at RM6,000 in one surety and order that the accused would not get any closer to the victim or her family members.
Pleading for a lower bail, Husin said he was only earning RM979 per month from his job.
He said he had to support his three children.
"My youngest child is admitted at Instititut Jantung Negara, madam," he said adding that his wife was present in court to be his bailor.
Magistrate Azniza Mohd Ali granted him to be released on a RM4,000 bail in one surety and set July 23 for sentencing.

tunku : what on earth is happening to this world? a teacher is a very noble job but i guess the person is not noble person. a parent send their child to school, hope that the teacher will guide them and make them a better person, not to be molested.furthermore this is a religious school.I'm speechless.
