The investigation paper on the alleged sexual harassment involving a state assemblyperson against a woman, who is a member of a political party, has been completed.

According to Bernama, Johor Police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the paper had been submitted to the legal division of the police force last week, for further action.

He said this when asked about the development of the case when met at the Johor Police Contingent in Johor Bahru today.

Elaborating, Kamarul said 11 individuals had given their statements on the case, including both the assemblyperson and the woman.

On Jan 17, Kota Tinggi Police chief Hussin Zamora said they had received a report from the 26-year-old woman claiming that she was sexually harassed several times by the assemblyperson.

Following the earlier report, Sedili assemblyperson Rasman Ithnain denied allegations that he sexually harassed a woman, calling it a political conspiracy to tarnish his reputation. 

The representative who was elected under Umno but decamped to Bersatu said that the claims were not true.

“The report was lodged by a member of the Bersatu Women committee in the Kota Tinggi division. I vehemently deny the allegations in the report and state that this is a political conspiracy, defamation and is an attempt to tarnish my dignity and reputation as an elected representative," he said in a statement as reported by Sinar Harian.
