A thirty-two-year-old local man faces a possible prison term and a caning today, after he pleaded guilty to 15 charges of raping two minor girls, possessing obscene photos of them, sexual grooming and unlawful carnal knowledge of one of the girls.
The defendant, Norin bin Pungut, who is in a position of trust for the girls, raped 13-year-old Miss X twice in a bedroom at a house in Brunei-Muara District sometime in April and May 9, this year.
Three of the charges levelled against him state that he had uploaded three obscene photos of Miss
X into a pendrive, on April 6.
Two charges state that he raped 15-year-old Miss Y in March and April in a bedroom at a house in the Brunei-Muara District.
One charge states that Norin had unlawful carnal knowledge of Miss Y on two or more occasions, prior to April this year, with the intention of sexually grooming Miss Y by luring her into a bedroom at the house.
Seven charges state that the defendant had uploaded seven obscene photos of Miss Y into a pendrive, on May 6.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Sharon Yeo informed the court that the offences came to light when Miss X's schoolmate reported to a teacher that she was bringing a switch knife to school.
Miss X was questioned by the teacher, who found scars on her wrists. It was then that Miss X revealed that she and her sister had been having sex with North.
The teacher filed a police report, which led to his arrest.
Judge Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Bahar is presiding over the sentence today.
