Sexual assault is an act in which a person intentionally sexually touches another person without their consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against his or her will.
So, ladies, you have no choice but to be extra careful when you’re out in public alone!
Recently, CCTV footage shared by Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS showed a man sexually harassing a woman at a car wash in broad daylight which allegedly happened in Jalan Kebun, Section 32, Shah Alam.
A woman can be seen in the video reaching inside a Perodua Myvi car, cleaning its interior.
Then after a few seconds, a man suddenly approached behind her with his handphone and stood behind the woman before sexually assaulting her.

The man can be seen taking a photo or recording his acts before the woman realised what he was doing and turned around, which made the man backed away instantly.
Ladies, remember, if you have experienced rape or sexual assault, know that it is not your fault and that you’re not alone.
