University Student Arrested Over Self-Created Child Sexual Abuse Material
A 20-year-old university student has been detained in Kuala Lumpur on charges related to possessing over 5,000 files of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) along with adult pornographic content. Authorities have uncovered evidence suggesting that some of the illicit material was created by the suspect himself, involving two local child victims.
Investigation and Evidence Collection
The arrest was made on April 29 in Pasir Gudang, Johor, during a collaborative operation led by the Malaysian Internet Crime Against Children (MICAC) unit under Bukit Aman’s Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division. The operation, conducted in partnership with Johor police and with assistance from an international technology firm, resulted in the seizure of a mobile phone and a laptop from the suspect. An examination of these devices revealed thousands of explicit files, some downloaded from the internet and others allegedly produced by the suspect.
In addition, investigators discovered that the suspect had sexually exploited two young female cousins—one aged four and the other aged nine. Records indicate that the suspect used his mobile phone to capture these exploitative acts at three separate locations in Selangor, Pahang, and Kelantan.
Charges and Ongoing Proceedings
Authorities have initiated three separate investigations across different states. The suspect was first charged in Johor for possessing CSAM and adult pornography; he subsequently pleaded guilty and was fined RM5,000. For acts recorded at his family home in Sungai Buloh between 2023 and 2025, he faced further charges in Klang.
Another disturbing incident, in which a recording captured one of the victims while bathing in a plantation toilet in Maran, Pahang, remains under judicial review by the Deputy Public Prosecutor. In a separate case, recordings made at the suspect’s grandmother’s residence in Kelantan during 2023 and 2024 are under review by the Attorney General’s Chambers.
