JOHOR BARU, MALAYSIA: The retired municipal worker was well known in his neighbourhood as a man who loved children.

Many thought this was because he and his wife did not have any children of their own.

Now, allegations have surfaced that the 60-year-old has been luring a 10-year-old boy to his house, using video games as bait, and sodomising him.

The allegations came to light when the boy told his father his anus was hurting.

When pressed by his 35-year-old father, the boy told him what had gone on during the many visits he made to the man's house.
The boy's father lodged a police report on Saturday and the retiree was detained the same day.
