A high-ranking Malaysian policeman was on Wednesday sentenced to 100
years in jail and 15 strokes of the cane for raping and sodomising a
13-year-old girl in a hotel.
Deputy Superintendent Rohaizat Abdul
Ani, a former anti-vice officer, was found guilty of raping the girl
four times and of sodomising her over a two-day period in 2012, media
reports said.
"He should be a guardian to the public, not
otherwise," deputy public prosecutor Azeezi Nordin was quoted as saying
by the Malay Mail Online news portal.
The accused "never
considered the victim's age, emotions and consequences of his action in
the eyes of the law", he told the court in Kota Kinabalu, capital of the
Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo island.
With some of the sentences running consecutively, Rohaizat will technically have to serve 80 years in prison.
The 54-year-old, who is expected to appeal the ruling, was accompanied by his wife. Neither showed any emotion in court, the reports said.
