PETALING JAYA: A foreign national claimed he was sodomised at a condominium here after accepting his alleged perpetrator's invitation for a chat.
The victim said he first met the man several months ago at the condominium gymnasium.
Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said police received a report from the 25-year-old victim at 9.57pm on Friday.
"The victim claimed that he met the suspect at the gymnasium in March this year. He said the suspect had invited him to his condominium unit for a chat at around 5pm on July 4," he said in a statement today.
Initially, the victim started talking with the suspect in the corridor before entering the latter's unit.
"As soon as he entered, the victim claimed that the suspect began undressing him and groping his private parts," said Shahrulnizam.
"The victim said he did not scream as he did not want the neighbours to hear or see anything that would humiliate him," he said, adding that the suspect then allegedly sodomised the victim.
After the incident, Shahrulnizam said the victim sought treatment at the University of Malaya Medical Centre.
"The medical officer found tears in the victim's anus. We urge the public to be cautious when mingling to avoid such incidents from occurring," he said, adding that the case is being investigated for committing carnal intercourse against the order of nature.
He called on those with information on the case to contact the Petaling Jaya police operations room at 03-7966 2222.
