24-year-old who has mild intellectual disability is spared the cane
A young man who raped a 13-year-old girl while on the run from the authorities has been sentenced to more than nine years' jail but spared the cane on account of his mild intellectual disability.
Seven months after Faizal Fairuz Muhammad Nassir was released on supervision from reformative training for committing rape, he cut his electronic tag and became uncontactable.
While he was on the run, he and a friend raped a 13-year-old girl they befriended on an online chat platform.
On Aug 23, Faizal, who is now 24 years old, was sentenced to a jail term of nine years and eight months for the offences he committed in 2022.
