A high-ranking Malaysian policeman was Wednesday sentenced to 100 years in jail and 15 strokes of the cane for raping and sodomising a 13-year-old girl in a hotel.

Deputy Superintendent Rohaizat Abdul Ani, a former anti-vice officer, was found guilty of raping the girl four times and of sodomising her over a two-day period in 2012, media reports said.

"He should be a guardian to the public, not otherwise," deputy public prosecutor Azeezi Nordin was quoted as saying by the Malay Mail Online news portal.

The offences were committed at a hotel in Kota Kinabalu.

With some of the sentences running consecutively, Rohaizat will technically have to serve 80 years in prison.

The 54-year-old, who is expected to appeal the ruling, was accompanied by his wife. Neither showed any emotion in court, the reports said.
