SUNGAI PETANI: Police are working with Digi Communications to trace a person who has been “terrorising” an underage girl by sending a nude photograph of the girl.
The person had been sending the photograph of the 16-year-old girl via the multimedia messaging service (MMS) since late last month, said Kuala Muda OCPD Asst Comm Hashim Ali.
It is learnt that the girl, accompanied by her father’s friend from Penang, lodged a report at the Sungai Petani police station here several days ago.
It is learnt that she had taken the photograph with her own camera phone “as a girlish prank.”
However, it is believed that she accidentally sent the photograph to an unknown number by mistake when she was trying to store the picture in her phone.
On Sept 26, she was shocked to receive the same photograph, which was purportedly sent by a Digi Telecommunications user.
The girl was too frightened to inform her parents and so she had only told her best friend, who advised her to make a police report.
A Digi Telecommunications spokesman said that it would take at least a week for the company to trace the name of the Digi prepaid user.
“We can only hope that the user has registered his real name. If the information fed to Digi is false, there isn’t much that we can do to help,” said the spokesman.
