Police have launched an investigation into a male influencer who made lewd remarks about a woman at a restaurant in Bukit Bintang during a livestream
According to the New Straits Times, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said a police report was lodged by a Russian woman at the Dang Wangi police station on Friday, 7 November.
He said the report was filed over a TikTok video in which the complainant was humiliated with vulgar language.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the misuse of network services to transmit obscene, indecent, false, or offensive content.
The woman, 26-year-old Russian model Alisa Kasimova, said she filed the report after discovering that she had been recorded without her knowledge while dining at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur
During the livestream, the influencer had allegedly made several obscene remarks about her, sparking public backlash online.
Alisa said she decided to take action after receiving advice and concern from others regarding her safety.
"[Many have] told me to go to the police, and I did. I did it not out of anger, but because silence only protects those who hurt others," she wrote on Threads.
Dang Wangi police chief ACP Sazalee Adam said police are waiting for the model to return to Malaysia to record her statement, as she is currently in Bali, Indonesia
"She is expected to return to Malaysia on 20 November. For now, we have not recorded her statement," he told the New Straits Times.
