Woman Hunting Rupiah From Pockets Of Masher, Forced To Pay Rp. 25,000 For Security Services At Gunung Antang
JAKARTA - The other side of the localization of prostitution in Gunung Antang turns out to be a gap in the coffers of illegal levies (extortion) from the prostitution business. The area which consists of a series of illegal huts and tents, aka beds, often proliferates even though it has been brought under control before.
As is known, the Gunung Antang localization land is located on land owned by PT KAI. However, due to the lack of supervision from PT KAI, illegal buildings and tents have sprung up again. The land was controlled by thugs.
Based on a VOI search at the location, in the area there are a number of stalls selling various illegal liquors. In fact, in the illegal building there are a number of rooms that are used as covert places for prostitution.
From early morning until late at night, this area is visited by a number of women at night. They peddle themselves starting in the morning. But in the morning, these commercial sex workers are less visible. Life on Mount Antang will be felt at night until dawn.
SJH, one of the female sex workers in Gunung Antang testified that she was forced to buy a ticket as a ticket to enter the prostitution area.
According to SJH, the ticket he charged was Rp. 25,000 for security and comfort so he could earn a living in the black valley.
"At night (paying tickets) Rp. 25 thousand, in the afternoon Rp. 10 thousand," he briefly told VOI, Wednesday, June 15.
After paying the 'entry ticket' to the Gunung Antang thugs, the rupiah hunters from the masher pockets were only able to freely work on the edge of the capital's train tracks.
Conflict-Prone Localization
Mount Antang is also known as a gambling place. The localization, which is squeezed between the train line and the highway, near the Jatinegara station is also known for its criminal acts.
The murder incident happened a year ago in Antang Mountain. A tattooed man was found dead tragically on Mount Antang, on October 17, 2021, then.
The victim, Sugito (45), from Bojonegoro, Central Java, was found with stab wounds and tears all over his body. Sugito is a guest at one of the dimly lit stalls of Mount Antang. The killing took place when Sugito and his friend collided with another group in the lokalisasi.
According to the records of the East Jakarta Metro Police, the two perpetrators with the initials JS and FS are the perpetrators and are already undergoing legal proceedings.
