A LABOURER in Batu Gajah, Perak, managed to dupe a teenage girl into going out with him by luring her with text messages before abducting and raping her, reported Harian Metro.

On Wednesday, the suspect sent the SMS to the 16-year-old girl on the pretext of sending her to school in Tanjung Tualang.

She was alleged to have received an SMS from the suspect, who offered to send her to school along with another schoolmate, said Batu Gajah OCPD Asst Comm Shaharon Anuar Abdul Latif.

The victim sensed something was amiss when the suspect arrived without her friend. She refused to get into his car but he dragged her into the vehicle and drove her to his home.

ACP Shaharom said the suspect then dragged the victim into his bedroom and raped her there. He sent her home after that.

She informed her boyfriend about the incident before telling her family. They lodged a police report soon after. ACP Shaharom said police have detained the 35-year-old suspect.
