Viral Rape In Bintaro Stems From Attempted Healing

JAKARTA - The police have exposed the viral rape of the AF woman in Bintaro on social media. The perpetrator with the initials RI (19) admitted that initially he wanted to steal from the victim's house.

"The perpetrator admitted that at that time he only wanted to commit theft," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for South Tangerang Police, AKP Muharram Wibisono to VOI, Monday, August 10.

However, the RI action was caught by the victim. RI — from the confession in questioning — intimidated the victim to keep quiet.

"Then when the victim caught him, (the perpetrator) committed rape," said Muharram.

The rapist was arrested at his home in Pondok Aren, South Tangerang. In the attempt to arrest, the perpetrator's parents tried to block the officers by saying that RI was not at home.

In fact, at that time RI was in a room. Until finally, after the police pressed and explained everything related to the case, the perpetrator was successfully secured.

This case only became known when AF uploaded the story of her rape through her Instagram account on Friday, August 7. In addition, photos of the alleged perpetrator were also included on the surveillance camera / CCTV.

The photo shows the perpetrator wearing a sweater and shorts while running from the victim's house.

In addition, in the story told by the FA, the rape took place on the morning of August 13. Before raping her, the perpetrator beat her several times.

"He was holding a knife and I begged not to be killed, he told me to be quiet and raped me," said the victim.

After the incident, the victim looked for his cell phone but was not found. The victim then hid in the bathroom to make sure the perpetrator had left his house. On the same day, the victim went to the hospital and reported the incident to the police.
