SHAH ALAM: Police have arrested a reality show celebrity over the alleged rape of a 23-year-old woman last year.
The man was arrested at the Shah Alam police headquarters yesterday, following a report by the alleged victim a day earlier.
According to district police chief Baharudin Mat Taib, the woman said she got to know the 25-year-old suspect through Instagram and they met on Sept 11, 2019 to discuss medical treatment for depression.
The suspect took her to an eatery at Batu 3 Shah Alam before they went to his condominium unit at Section 7, where the alleged incident took place, he said in a statement.
The next day, the suspect allegedly warned her to keep quiet about the incident before she returned home, he said.
Baharudin said the woman was admitted to hospital on Sept 23, 2019 for emotional stress and was referred for psychiatric treatment.
