SEGAMAT: Due to deception by their boyfriends, two secondary school students were victims of rape and one of them is now seven months' pregnant.
In the first incident on June 16, a 17-year-old student who attends a school in Jalan Muar-Segamat here, claimed that she was raped twice by her boyfriend.
A police spokesman said the student is sitting for her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia this year. She had claimed that she was in a relationship with the 19-year-old suspect, who worked at a cleaning company.
Her boyfriend had invited her to go on an outing to Segamat but before doing so, he had brought her to his house in Taman Seri Kaya.
"The victim was suspicious but he gave the excuse that he wanted to change his clothes before going on the trip.
The police said the suspect had raped her twice before sending her home.
The victim later told her family about the incident before lodging a report at Segamat police headquarters, three days after the incident.
In a separate case, a Form Five student is seven months' pregnant after being raped by her boyfriend in November last year.
The victim was only 16 during the incident, when she was taken by her boyfriend to a hotel and raped.
The suspect, who is from Jabi, allegedly promised to marry her.
However, the suspect disappeared but was arrested on July 1.
Meanwhile, Segamat police chief Supt Hanafi Daud, when contacted, confirmed the two cases but declined to comment.
