PUTRAJAYA, April 27 -- A former school van driver was acquitted and discharged by the Sessions Court today on a charge of committing physical sexual assault on a eight-year, eight-month-old boy at a condominium, in 2022. Judge Datin Kunasundary Marimuthu freed Na Li Jing at the close of the defence case, finding that the defence had raised reasonable doubt against the 34-year-old accused. In her ruling, Kunasundary found that during the period stated in the charge, the accused had only begun renting the said condominium in 2024 and not in 2022, a fact supported by an independent witness whom the court found to be truthful, firm and consistent in his explanations.-- fotoBERNAMA (2026) COPYRIGHT RESERVED
