Noorsiah said the investigation found that the suspect had communicated with child victims and downloaded child pornography using social media.
She said the success of this arrest is the result of cooperation between PDRM and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The suspect is being remanded for four days starting yesterday until 17 December for further investigation under Section 10 of the Sexual Offenses Against Children Act 2017 and Section 292 of the Penal Code.
Offenders may be jailed for up to three years, fined or both upon conviction.
