Child molester gets higher jail term on appeal

A former school canteen helper who outraged the modesty of a 12-year-old boy in 2014 had his jail sentence enhanced to 15 months imprisonment by the Ipoh High court on Thursday. The decision follows an appeal by the prosecution over the case involving Mohd Yunus Hassan, 53, who was convicted of outraging the modesty of the minor by the Seri Manjung magistrate’s court last year, where he was jailed one day and fined RM4,000.
