An army corporal charged with committing sexual assault on his daughter has pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court in Ipoh today. 

The 30-year-old soldier made the plea before Sessions judge Julie Lack Abdullah.

He was charged with committing the offence on the girl, who was then four years and five months old, at their house in Bandar Baru Putra here in December last year.

The charge, under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, provides imprisonment for up to 20 years and the accused shall also be liable to whipping, if found guilty.

Deputy public prosecutor Naidatul Athirah Azman prosecuted, while the accused was unrepresented.

The court set this Friday for mention.
