MIRI, Malaysia - Troubled by a rocky marriage, a woman in Miri sought the help of a bomoh for a solution only to be raped by him, Metro Ahad reported.
The medium, in his 50s, allegedly assaulted the victim after giving her a floral bath and persuading her to make believe he was her husband.
Thinking it was part of the ritual to treat her misfortune, the woman followed his every instruction and for two months did not tell anyone about what happened.
It was only when she realised the bomoh's treatment was not working that she made a police report on Saturday about the incident that occurred in April.
In a separate case, a 15-year-old boy in Bukit Mertajam told police he had been sexually abused by a man who had moved into the neighbourhood about a month ago.
The teenager said the man would sneak into his house each time his (the suspect's) wife was not at home.
The boy claimed the man, in his 20s, forced him to perform oral sex.
He lodged a police report against the neighbour after complaining to his father.
