JAKARTA - Lawyer Taruli Simanjuntak sent a subpoena to Pastor Gilbert Lumoindong. The summons was issued regarding Gilbert's words which said Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J had raped Putri Candrawathi, wife of Ferdy Sambo.

"I warn you that within 3X24 (three times twenty-four) hours starting one day after the date of this summons, you have provided evidence of the truth of all of your words," as written in Taruli's summons, Wednesday, October 12.

Taruli in a subpoena dated October 11, 2022, warned Pastor Gilbert to provide evidence, especially regarding the allegation that Brigadier J had raped Putri in Magelang.

Then show evidence of having discussed with a psychiatrist, complete with discussion material with the psychiatrist, so that clearly, unequivocally and even loudly say that Brigadier J committed rape after taking certain drugs or watching obscene shows.

If the priest can't fulfill it, Taruli will immediately take legal action. Gilbert will be reported to the police on charges of intentionally and without rights spreading information aimed at causing hatred or hostility based on a sensitive issue (SARA) as regulated in Article 28 Paragraph (2) of Law no. 11 of 2006 concerning ITE Junto Article 45 A of Law no. 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning ITE.

Because Taruli said, the words of Gilbert, who is the leader or pastor of the congregation at the Bethel Indonesia Church, Glow Fellowship Center in Jakarta, have been widely spread in the community through YouTube videos.

"That your words as quoted above have the potential to cause feelings of hatred or hostility because you have concluded an event that you have not seen, heard, and experienced yourself," as written in Taruli Simanjuntak's subpoena.

Gilbert Lumoindong's words which are considered by Taruli Simanjuntak to meet the criminal element are contained in two video shows on YouTube.

The first video uploaded on September 28, 2022, is titled VIRAL..!!! BEGINI UCAPAN PDT.GILBERT LUMOINDONG YANG SEDANG JADI SOROTAN PUBLIK. The second video was uploaded on October 2, 2022, with the title Fitnah Alm Brigadir J, Ujung-Ujungnya Minta Maaf!! Pdt Gilbert Lumoindong. As Taruli mentioned in the subpoena, Gilbert basically stated:

"... over time, the crispier it looks, the emptier it looks, brothers and sisters, and the more you come here, the more you see that it's true, as he has said many times, it's about family pride, and the more you come here, the clearer it becomes that there was actually an incident that happened in Magelang but it's a shame to be admitted because it is indeed a disgrace that is aaa scary if a wife of a two-star general is raped by aaa his aide, brothers..."

"... and the person who said that ooo this is impossible, how can a brigadier dare to talk about rape, don't ever say it's impossible, even if you type on google, there is a child rapes a biological mother, a father raping a biological child, so aaa or not there is a term that is impossible my brother and sister, have tried to discuss with aaa psychiatrist, the psychiatrist said we never know two hours before the incident whether he was taking certain drugs or whether he was taking aaa or he watched aaa certain lewd shows that could damage his brain and start to arouse passion which is amazing, so finally it becomes more and more apparent that the story is that it is suspected that there is an element of aaa sexual violence or an element of rape..."

"...so any position there is something very sad for the family, namely the death of Joshua, but rape is also not something honorable, rapists are not something honorable, and if the wife of a two-star general was raped, it is natural for someone to be so angry..."
