A TWENTY-ONE-year-old woman, who had run away from home after being raped by her stepfather, ended up being a sex slave to a stranger.
She left her village in Kelantan last month, hoping to put the past behind and for better days ahead in Kuala Lumpur. But her search for a job as a shop assistant led her to an even bitter experience.
During her job hunt, she met a stranger in Rawang and followed him home, thinking he was a good Samaritan who had offered to provide her with shelter.
Harian Metro, quoting a source, reported that she was instead locked up in the house and raped repeatedly for a month.
On Wednesday morning, she managed to escape from the house in Bukit Permai, Ampang, when her captor was fast asleep.
Police are hunting for the suspect.
