Celebrity preacher Azman Syah Alias or more widely recognised by his alias ‘PU Azman‘, was accused with one count of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy in July at the Ampang Sessions court yesterday (21 Dec).

Azman was charged in accordance with Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years prison time and whipping if founded guilty.

He pleaded not guilty when the accusation was read to him in front of Judge Norhazani Hamzah.

His charge sheet claims that the crime was allegedly committed at a resort in Hulu Langat On July 22 of this year sometime around noon.

Deputy public prosecutor, Norhashimah Hashim, pleaded with the court to deny Azman’s request for bail but Azman’s defence attorney, Mohamad Zahid Ahmad, rebutted by arguing that the accused’s release would allow him to mount a stronger defence for his case.

Azman was subsequently given RM10,000 bail, and another hearing date set for February 10 of next year (2023).

PU Azman had already faced five counts of sexually assaulting two young boys between February and July, according to charges filed on October 12.

More recently, he was charged again on December 7 for engaging in inappropriate sexual behaviour and communication with three teenage boys in February, June, and August of this year.
