Just so you know, I was left speechless when I read the tweets from this particular hashtag – #BrightFutureRapeOK just yesterday. So, what’s the story?
A national bowler escaped custodial sentence for committing statutory rape with a 13-year-old girl three years ago.
The Court of Appeal yesterday allowed Noor Afizal Azizan‘s appeal against the High Court decision to sentence him to five years’ jail.
A three-man panel led by Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Raus Sharif substituted the jail term with an order which bound him over for good behaviour for five years.
If Noor Afizal breached the order, his bailor would have to pay RM25,000.Raus, in his decision, agreed with counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, who represented Noor Afizal, that public interest would not be served if his client was given a custodial sentence when he had a bright future.

He was 18 & she was 13 years old when it happened and there was a consensual sexual relationship between the both. That was the story and……. I don’t know what else to say.
