Adeline Chang, known for her social media antics, is set to face charges in court today (24 October).
Adeline, who allegedly posted a children’s photo with inappropriate text on Facebook four months ago, will be charged under the Communications and Multimedia Act.
She posted on social media that she received a letter from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) stating she needed to appear in court.
Her family has offered to pay the fine if she pleads guilty to avoid jail time.
She wrote that if she chose not to plead guilty, she would bear all the consequences, including lawyer fees, bail, and monthly court expenses.
Wrestling with Guilty PleaThe “troublemaker” is troubled about whether to plead guilty and laments her lack of financial independence, making her dependent on her family’s decisions.
In her post, she questions whether she should plead guilty and whether her financial dependence means she must comply with her family’s wishes.
According to her, MCMC officials suggested that cases brought to court typically have solid evidence and advised her to plead guilty.
So should I plead guilty or not? Who can understand my feelings and predicament?
The MCMC issued a statement on 23 June, saying they received reports about a Facebook user named “Adeline Chang” who uploaded a child’s photo with inappropriate text.
They launched an investigation and called her in for questioning.
Authorities subsequently seized her phone and SIM card.
She faces a maximum fine of RM50,000, one year’s imprisonment, or both under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 if found guilty.
