An international student was arrested by the police in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, last Monday on suspicion of possessing child pornographic materials.

Royal Malaysia Police secretary Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin in a statement today said the arrest of the 24-year-old man was possible with the cooperation of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.

She said the police found the pornographic materials on the suspect’s laptop and mobile phone.

The suspect was found to have used social media applications to communicate with victims and then threatened them with sextortion, she said, adding that he would be brought to the Seremban Magistrate's Court today to be charged under Section 5 of the Sexual Offenses Against Children Act 2017.
