KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Authorities have arrested a 15-year-old Malaysian teen after he allegedly raped his own mother at home early morning Wednesday.



The teen lived together with his single mother and sister in their residence at Overseas Union Garden, Cheras.

Initial investigation showed that the mother, a 44- year-old waitress working at an entertainment outlet, had been inebriated with alcohol when she went home at around 2 AM Wednesday morning.

According to her account, the woman went to her son’s bedroom by mistake and slept there for several hours. When she woke up, she was surprised to see her son naked and on top of her.

The woman pushed him off her and later went to a neighbor who advised her to file a rape complaint with the police.

Authorities who swooped in to arrest the teen later discovered that he had been viewing pornographic material on his cellphone prior to the incident.

They also learned that his sister was at home when the act occurred.

The case is being handled by the Sexual Crimes, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Investigations Division (D11).

Charges are being readied against the teen under Section 376A of the Penal Code which criminalizes incest. Under that section “a person is said to have committed incest if he has sexual intercourse with another person whose relationship to him is such that he is not permitted to marry her under the law, religion or custom.”

The mother, meanwhile, has been sent to University Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital to undergo a medical check-up.

Recent high-profile rape cases have continued to draw attention to the plight of women in this deeply-conservative Muslim nation, and the rest of Asia by extension.
