Viral Father Molests Biological Child In Tangsel Triggered Blind Jealousy

JAKARTA - Police have arrested a man with the initials WH (35) who went viral on social media for molesting his biological daughter. Based on the examination, the motive behind his actions was due to blind jealousy.

"The motive is based on the results of the examination of jealousy so as to vent to the child," said South Tangerang Police Chief AKBP Iman Imanuddin, Thursday, May 20.

Jealousy suspect, continued Iman, because his ex-wife and the mother of the victim is called to have a new lover. Both are known to have officially divorced.

"He is divorced, but he is jealous because his ex-wife already has a partner again. That's why it's vented to his son," he said.

The revelation of the abuse, Iman said, was because the victim's mother uploaded a video of the abuse while asking for help. She can't do anything because she's working as a female worker in Malaysia.

"In Malaysia, working there 2 years," said Iman.

"Who videotaped the suspect himself. Videoed yesterday, then just sent to his mother," continued Iman.

For information, the suspect's stunt went viral on social media. In the video footage, it appears that the suspect slapped the victim multiple times.

In fact, the suspect also hurled insults. It is alleged that the scolding was a hint to the victim's mother who is the perpetrator's wife.

The persecution of five-year-old boys took place in Pondok Jagung area, Serpong, South Tangerang.
