Six students believed to be aged from 15 to 17 were forced to be sex slaves of an elderly taxi driver in Kuala Lumpur who had used video clips of him raping them to blackmail them for about a year.
He had threatened to make the video clips public if they did not have some more sex with him.
The 54-year-old taxi driver raped his victims and recorded the sex acts on his handphone.
Police said the video clips showed the victims screaming, crying and pleading to be released.
The videos also showed the victims being raped in various sexual positions.
Police believe at least six students were his sex slaves because his handphone had video clips of six girls being raped. The first rape occurred last August.
The taxi driver was arrested on Monday, 11 days after two of his sex slaves mustered enough courage to lodge police reports. Police announced his arrest on Thursday.
The first two reports were made on May 20 by two of the victims who are from the same school in Pandan Indah, Ampang. The third victim from another school lodged a report on May 29.
The first victim decided to lodge a report after being convinced to do so by her friend whom she shared her torment with.
It is learnt that her schoolmate approached the victim after seeing her getting into the same taxi several times.
Following the reports, police planned an operation and staked out a taxi stand on Jalan Imbi in Kuala Lumpur for three days. The cabbie was nabbed at 9.30pm on Monday.
Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Com Abdul Jalil Hassan said on Thursday that police believe the suspect could have an accomplice who held the handphone to record the rapes.
"The suspect's handphone is the most vital piece of evidence in this case," he said
ACP Abdul Jalil said the modus operandi of the suspect was to wait outside the school for a student to get into his taxi.
Along the way to the student's destination, the taxi driver would suddenly say he had an emergency to attend to and had to rush to his house. He would seek permission from the victim before driving to his house.
Once he reached his house in Taman Muda, Ampang, the cabbie would force the victim into his house before raping her.
The suspect, who has been a taxi driver for 17 years, has no previous criminal records and he has been living on his own in the house.
The suspect have been remanded for seven days until Monday to facilitate investigations.
So far only three students have lodged reports and police are urging the other three victims to come forward to help with the investigations.
