So Trending Topic, Youtuber Turah Parthayana Accused Of Sexual Harassment

JAKARTA - YouTuber Turah Parthayana, an Indonesian student in Russia, is grabbing the attention of netizens. Because a thread on Twitter said that Turah had committed acts of sexual harassment.

The claim that Turah committed sexual harassment was first disclosed by the Twitter account @ Sandi_sa119. Sandi revealed that Turah had done it to a female friend to become the number one trending topic on Twitter.

It is now known that Turah is a student at a university in the city of Tomsk, Russia. According to Sandi's narrative, currently the number of victims of Turah's sexual harassment is three, but only one person who dares to speak is Jesselyn Abidin or Jeje.

"So far, only one victim has dared to speak. However, there are one to two more people who are likely to talk too. But they do not know whether they dare to speak or not," Sandi told VOI, Thursday, August 6.

Even Sandi admitted that he had spoken with the victim and had held evidence of sexual harassment by Turah. Later Sandi and several other parties will immediately report to the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow regarding this matter.

"We are currently preparing a report letter to the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow. There are two forms of letters from the Indonesian Embassy, from parents and victims. It contains a report requesting assistance to (deal with) cases of sexual harassment," Sandi said.

I want to sign up first. I'll be in this case. At least the perpetrator @Turahpartayana apologized to the public and he was subject to social sanctions. May I beg you not to trade first, or to hurt victims eg “spill” “get” or gmbr not empathy Poor victim read. Especially girls.

Sandi also said that Jeje's parents strongly criticized the actions that Turah had committed against his son. Unfortunately, they will still consult with the Indonesian Embassy before taking further action.

"Jeje's parents strongly criticized. At the time of the incident, the victim's parents were very angry with the chairman of the PPI City of Tomsk, Gokma because they seemed not to protect the victim, instead they ordered the victim to compensate Turah's glasses due to fighting with the victim's girlfriend," explained Sandi.

It is known that this turah's sexual harassment case took place on Saturday, November 23, 2019, and was in room 430 of the Parus hostel. This case began when Turah invited the victim Jeje to watch a horror film together in his friend's room with the initials D.

Via a voice recording via telephone with Sandi, Jeje said that the incident took place at 2 or 3 in the morning. Turah, who claimed to have invited D, was found in his friend's room first. Jeje then didn't have the slightest suspicion.

Turah was currently editing a video on a computer desk. Not long after, Turah immediately asked Jeje to move beside him, which at that time was only sitting on the bed. Turah argued that he asked Jeje to choose a horror film to watch together.

"While still sitting around like that, he started joking around but his hands were playing," said Jeje.

Not long after, D came and was surprised to see Turah and Jeje in his room. At that moment, Jeje became suspicious of Turah, who previously claimed to have asked permission and invited D to watch it together.

However, Turah can still argue that when he invited D via WhatsApp, the message was not sent. Warding off the suspicion, Jeje finally invited D to join immediately.

Because the time had shown the curfew, Jeje was found already asleep, all that was left was him and Turah. Seeing the situation, finally Turah began to act again by committing sexual harassment.

"He's already starting to touch. He took my hand and put it on" that "him. Tell me to treat it like this and kiss me. At first I was silent because I was afraid," said Jeje.

Worried that it would be worse, Jeje finally did something that made D wake up, finally Jeje was able to return to his room. In short. Jeje immediately told this to his girlfriend.

Not receiving it, Jeje's lover finally invited Turah to meet and talk. However, when he met face to face, Turah blamed Jeje for damaging his good name and reputation as a YouTuber.

Jeje was then angry to hear Turah's statement, as well as Sandi, who was on the phone with Jeje. Sandi said that this case was not only Jeje who was the victim. "There is not only one case. There are people who cover it up. There are threats to the victim."

I'll start with this affidavit. My victim's name is censorship to protect the good name. This letter was made several days after the confession incident involving TP (Turah) and JA (victim). This letter stated that the TP had harassed JA. pic.twitter.com/b3cGgG1cy7

It is known that the person who covered this case was the Chairman of PPI, namely Gokma. However, not long after, Gokma stated a letter confessing that Turah had sexually assaulted Jeje. Sandi said that the letter was not compelled by any party.

"There was no coercion in the letter. However, Gokma actually tried to cover up this case by not opening the case to the Central PPI and the Indonesian Embassy. He was silent," said Sandi.
