 GEORGE TOWN: A 25-year-old man who earlier admitted to three charges of sexual offences against a 14-year-old physically disabled girl has now changed his plea to not guilty. Muhamad Hunain Shah Sufi claimed trial on Monday to two counts of raping the girl at an apartment in Paya Terubong at 3pm on March 24 and again at 2pm on March 26. He also denied sodomising the girl at the same place at 3pm on March 27. Hunain, in seeking bail, told the Sessions Court that he intended to meet the girl’s family with the possibility of marrying her. In opposing bail, deputy public prosecutor Lim Cheah Yit said this may amount to witnesses tampering and marriage had no bearing on the charge. He also said the offences were serious and the girl was young and disabled. Sessions judge Khairul Anuar Abdul Halim denied Hunain bail and fixed May 19 for trial. The Star
