Mohamad Fadwan Abd Muaain, 42, a debt collector with a prior rape conviction, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting and wrongfully confining a 14-year-old boy in an apartment in Bukit Kemuning, Section 32, Selangor on May 11, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4]. The assault occurred between 8:05 a.m. and 11:50 a.m. when the suspect lured the victim by offering a mobile internet package in exchange for help carrying items into the apartment [1, 2, 3, 4].
Police arrested Mohamad Fadwan five days later on May 16 at a rented room in Kuala Lumpur and placed him in remand [1, 2, 3, 4]. During court proceedings on May 22, he pleaded guilty in Sessions and Magistrate's Courts to multiple charges. These included sexual assault by touching the boy, wrongful confinement by tying his hands and feet, causing hurt, robbery, and drug use [2, 3, 4].
He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment for wrongful confinement and six months for causing hurt, with the sentences set to run consecutively [2, 3, 4]. Sentencing for the sexual assault charge under Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 is scheduled for June 8, 2026 [2, 3, 4].
Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said, "I have been informed that charging instructions have been issued by the Deputy Public Prosecutor's office and the suspect will be charged as soon as possible" [1]. Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadrin questioned the accused on his failure to consider the trauma suffered by the victim. The suspect replied his actions were aimed at obtaining information from the boy to break into the victim's house and steal gold [4].
Mohamad Fadwan was previously convicted of rape, wrongful confinement, and robbery involving a woman 18 years ago and was released from prison in April 2025 [1, 2, 3, 4]. The case remains before the court, with the next hearing set for sentencing on the sexual assault charge in early June 2026.
