KULIM: A lance corporal, who allegedly held a woman as his sex slave for ten years, is being investigated by the police, but he remains on duty.
Police had opened investigation papers under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape and Section 323 for causing hurt, said district OCPD Supt Ghuzlan Salleh.
He also said they had recorded a statement from the 47-year-old policeman.
Two statements were also recorded from the 40-year-old woman when she lodged two reports on Jan 17 and Jan 27.
"We are also conducting internal investigations and waiting for the disciplinary board to act on the matter.
"If he is really involved in the alleged rape and assault, he will be arrested and charged accordingly," said Supt Ghuzlan yesterday.
Supt Ghuzlan refuted claims that no action was taken after police reports were lodged by the victim.
He said police had taken appropriate action and were awaiting further notice from the Deputy Public Prosecutor.
It was earlier reported that the married woman from Nibong Tebal was forced to go through nine abortions in the course of their relationship.
She also claimed that the policeman tried to abuse his power by arresting her husband, but his senior officers found out about it and got him transferred.
The woman claimed that the policeman was still contacting her.
She also claimed she was raped by an unknown man at about 10.30pm on Jan 14 in a toilet of the house where she was staying with the policeman.
When she told the policeman about the rape, he blamed her for trying to betray their relationship and started assaulting her.
Supt Ghuzlan said police were investigating the medical report as well as the area where the incident took place.
"We believe the suspect could be a villager who has been observing the victim for quite some time.
"He could have been keeping tabs on her routine before taking advantage of her when the opportunity arose," he said.
