Idi Johan Mohd Zohdi, 45, a school teacher in Klang, pleaded not guilty to 14 charges of sexual assault involving six 15-year-old female students from a secondary school in Sabak Bernam on June 8, 2026 [1, 2]. The alleged assaults occurred at multiple locations, including classrooms, a music storeroom, a mathematics room, a house, a vehicle, and a music equipment store around Sabak Bernam and Sekinchan [1, 2]. The offenses are said to have taken place between January 2025 and February 2026 [1, 2].
The charges were filed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, read with Section 16(1). Conviction carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years imprisonment, whipping, and additional jail term and caning for breach of trust as a teacher [1, 2]. When entering his plea in Klang Sessions Court, the accused stated, "I understand the charges. I want to go on trial" [1].
Deputy public prosecutor Nor Suhaili Abu Bakar did not offer bail outright but recommended a bail amount of RM20,000 per charge if the court granted it. Conditions included no harassment of the victims and monthly police reporting by the accused [1]. Lawyer Datuk Mohd Imran Tamrin, representing Idi Johan, requested bail totaling RM30,000 for all charges citing his long service since 2002, no prior convictions or disciplinary issues, and family dependents. He said the accused "is committed to clearing his name and voluntarily appeared in court after being informed by the police. His family is also here to provide moral support" [1].
The Sessions Court judge granted bail at RM30,000 with one surety, ordering the accused to report monthly to the police, refrain from interfering with the victims, and surrender his passport [1, 2]. The next court mention will take place on July 30, 2026 [2].
