KUALA LUMPUR: The forensic report for the 'Hot Daddy' case involving the alleged advertising of prostitution services on the X application is almost ready, the Sessions Court heard.
During case mention today, deputy public prosecutor Nidzuwan Abd Latif said documents related to the case would be handed over to the defence before the trial began.
He asked the court to fix a new mention date to submit the documents.
"The forensic report requires some time to complete," he said.
Counsel Shah Rizal Abdul Manan who appeared for all the accused, did not object to the request.
Judge Datin Fadzlin Suraya Mohd Suah set July 2 for mention.
Hasli Ikhwan Arif Zul Hasli, 32, also known as 'Hot Daddy', and two female accomplices, Norshazrina Md Zamri, 27, and Norhidayah Mahadi, 24, were accused of advertising services on the X application which a reasonable person would understand as prostitution services.
The offence was allegedly committed at the office of the Secret Societies, Vice and Gambling Investigation Division (D7) in Bukit Aman at 10.10am on Jan 16.
They were charged under Section 372(1)(e) of the Penal Code, punishable under the same section, read together with Section 34 of the same code, which carries up to 15 years' jail with whipping and a fine.
