PWNU Urges Police To Arrest MSAT Of Kiai Jombang's Child Suspect For Sexual Abuse Of Santriwati: No Matter What Social Status

SURABAYA - The East Java Nahdlatul Ulama (PWNU) Regional Manager has spoken out regarding the alleged molestation of female students by the son of a kiai in Jombang Regency. PWNU also supports the police's move to arrest the MSAT perpetrators who are now fugitives.

"We support the police and the prosecutor's office to take action against anyone who violates the law, no matter what their social status," said the Chair of the East Java PWNU, Marzuki Mustamar, Tuesday, July 6.

Marzuki asked the police not to be selective in taking action against the perpetrators who were suspected of molesting female students. He hopes that the police will be firm, and will not be influenced by the intervention of the social status of the perpetrators from any group.

"The law should not be indiscriminate, regardless of class, whatever social status. Whether they are officials, religious leaders, poor, rich and others. Law enforcers such as the police, prosecutors, courts cannot lose to groups or anything else," he said.

Therefore, Marzuki hopes that the Legawa Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes) is open and does not fight against law enforcement officers. If the MSAT perpetrator is indeed innocent, he said, it would be best to let it be decided later in court.

"The case will be after being found guilty and serving a sentence and later there will be humanitarian considerations, please talk to the kiai. Only later will we talk about benefit issues," he said.

It should be noted that the sexual abuse of female students who ensnared the child of a kiai in Jombang, East Java, MSAT has not yet entered the realm of trial. This is because the police have not been able to present a suspect for phase two (submission of the suspect and evidence) to the public prosecutor.

Some time ago, the police from the Jombang Police who were backed up by the East Java Regional Police tried to arrest MSAT but failed. The police only arrested two people who had hindered police work when they were going to pursue the MSAT molestation DPO.

The police only arrested two people, and secured evidence in the form of an airsoft gun. Which at that time was in the Isuzu Panther car with Nopol S-1741-ZJ.
