A man molested his paralyzed mother as she laid immobile in her bed. The incident took place in Langkawi, Malaysia, on Monday.

According to local reports, the 21-year-old unidentified man was high on drugs when he committed the crime. His mother screamed as he tried molesting her. The woman’s daughter, who was watching television in the other room, heard her mother’s screams and rushed to her room only to find the accused caressing her breast. The daughter pushed the accused away and stopped the assault. She then confronted the accused and filed a police complaint against him.

“Upon hearing the cries and pleas of her mother, she had forcefully pushed her brother away whilst scolding him, so that he would stop with the molesting,” a police officer said.

Investigation revealed that the man, who was unemployed, was under the influence of drugs when he committed the crime. It was also revealed that this was not the first time the man molested his paralyzed mother and it happened several times in the past. Investigation was ongoing and the man remained in police custody. He was yet to be charged with the crime.
