A man who “lost control in a moment of impulse” took a screenshot of his ex-wife’s half-naked body and forwarded it to someone on TikTok. Mohd Aziz, 28, was charged with committing an immoral act in Pengkalan Chepa.
He pleaded guilty in court this morning (January 13). He was fined 3,000 RM (£550) according to China Press. Kota Bharu Magistrate Wan Mohd Izah said that as a Muslim, this behavior violates Islamic teachings and “should not be allowed to happen.”
“Even when we are angry, we need to remain patient and not cross the line,” they said. The court heard the defendant obtained semi-nude photos of his ex-wife, 27 via WhatsApp and later screenshotted and forwarded the photos to another man.
His actions violated Section 509 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of imprisonment for one to five years, a fine, or both if convicted.
The lead prosecutor in this case, Deputy Public Prosecutor Norhajija pleaded with the magistrate that the defendant had two children, earned a monthly salary of about RM1,700, and had reflected on his impulsive behavior.
The magistrate ultimately fined the defendant RM3,000, and if the fine is not paid, the defendant will face up to six months in jail.
The news comes after we reported how two sisters who shared photos of their dad’s lover did so in an alleged ‘rage’ – but are now facing prison and the end to their careers.
Sophie and Ellie Brown discovered their dad was cheating on their mum with another woman and saw red. They wanted revenge, and the best thing they could find was a series of saucy photos from the other woman.
The girls deliberated on what to do after they discovered the naked photos. At first, they wanted to upload them to selling site Gumtree with an advertisement for her sexual services for £5.
Deciding against that, they shared the photos on an escort site. In the description, Sophie and Ellie added the number of the other woman’s husband, so he would be inundated with calls asking for sex.
While the sisters thought they’d found the perfect opportunity for revenge, their plan backfired. Sophie was a police officer and was forced to give up her job as a patrol officer.
Ellie has been told she may face prison for sharing private photos without consent. Revenge porn sentences became stricter earlier this year, with more immediate and strict punishments for images being shared.
