The accused, who works at a pawn breeding pond, was alleged to have committed the offences on the two boys between  April 2016 and July 12 this year, at four locations in Mersing.

The charges were made under Section 377C of the Penal Code, which provides an imprisonment for up to 20 years and is liable to whipping if found guilty, and Section  377C of the same law which provides and imprisonment for up to 30 years and is liable to whipping, if found guilty.

Deputy public prosecution Suhaila Shafi'uddin prosecuted, while the accused was unrepresented.
