KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- A 37-year-old administrative assistant at a government department pleaded not guilty in the Magistrates’ Court here today to a charge of insulting the modesty of a female student undergoing industrial training, three months ago.
Mohamad Aznee Osman was charged with committing the offence against the 23-year-old victim at a government office here at 1.58 pm on April 4.
The charge was framed under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of five years, or a fine, or both, upon conviction.
Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan allowed Mohamad Aznee bail of RM2,500 in one surety and required him to avoid harassing the victim.

The prosecution was conducted by prosecuting officer Insp M.Alli Nangai.
