A 27-year-old Nigerian woman was fined RM1,500 in default
of two months’ jail by the magistrate’s court in Kualar Lumpur for
offering sex services to a policeman.
The woman identified as Aitimon Ruth Efe pleaded guilty
when the charge was read to her before magistrate Mahyuddin Mohamed Som
on Tuesday, September 12.
The mother of one was charged with soliciting for the
purpose of prostitution by saying “Hey, brother… want sex with me?
RM200” to corporal Mohamad Musa Mohamad Kadam in Bukit Bintang on Sept
6.
The offence falls under Section 377B of the Penal Code,
which carries maximum one years’ jail, or a fine, or both, upon
conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Nur Farah Adilah Noordin urged that an apt punishment be handed down to the accused.
However, Aitimon’s lawyer, Norizan Yaacob, pleaded for a lenient sentence, saying this was her client’s first offence.
