"Some people ask me why I reported this matter after four times, I must have liked it/ I was scared at first and I want to take care of the name of my family and the name of the party.
"After that, I also started to get scared because I realised it was going to go on if I didn't do something," she said.
In the meantime, the mother of the child will also hire a lawyer to bring the issue to the prosecution to prove the truth.
Meanwhile, Johor Police Chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat when contacted here on Saturday confirmed that the investigation into the case is ongoing.
