Shafie Mohamad appeared before Kota Bharu Sessions Court Judge Zulkifli Abdullah on Wednesday, where he entered pleas of not guilty to all five charges relating to alleged assaults on underage students.
The educator faces multiple counts in connection with incidents involving the 17-year-old victims. By claiming trial, Shafie has opted to contest the allegations rather than accept the charges.
The case has been scheduled for further proceedings before Judge Abdullah at the Kota Bharu Sessions Court. Details regarding the specific nature of the alleged assaults and the circumstances surrounding the complaints remain under judicial consideration.
The matter is now set to proceed through the court system, with the prosecution and defence expected to present their respective cases during trial proceedings.
