JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police through the Directorate of Criminal Protection of Women and Children and the Eradication of Human Trafficking investigated the alleged case of sexual violence against the female rock climber who was allegedly carried out by the former head coach of the Indonesian rock climbing team with the initials HB.
Director of PPA-PPO of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Brigadier General Nurul Azizah said that the report related to the case was recorded with the number LP/B/101/III/2026/SPKT/Bareskrim Polri dated March 3, 2026.
According to him, the reported incident is suspected to have occurred between 2021 and 2025. The locations of the incident include the Bekasi Athlete Dormitory which is located in the Medan Satria area, Bekasi, as well as in several countries when the athletes participated in international competitions.
The report was filed by a reporter with the initials SD who acted as a power of attorney from the victims. The victims are female rock climbers who are participating in the national training concentration program (pelatnas).
Meanwhile, the party reported was HB who is currently dismissed by the Indonesian Bouldering Federation (FPTI). Following up on the report, investigators from the PPA-PPO Directorate have taken a number of initial investigative steps.
On March 6, 2026, investigators clarified the SD reporter and one of the athletes with the initials PJ.
"In addition, investigators have also accompanied the victim to undergo a visum et repertum at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital," said Nurul, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, March 10.
Furthermore, on March 9, 2026, investigators again clarified four other athletes with the initials RS, PL, KA, NA, and AV.
"For the athletes, a letter of request for a visa et repertum and a psychiatric visa has also been made at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital," he said.
He added that at present, investigators are still continuing to deepen by carrying out a visa for the victims, a psychiatric examination, checking the scene of the crime, and clarifying witnesses and the parties concerned.
"Investigators will also collect other evidence to illuminate the reported events," he said.
In handling this case, the assistance from the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children was not carried out because the victims had received psychological assistance and legal assistance from the Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation.
For his actions, HB is suspected of violating Article 6 letters b and c of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes in conjunction with Article 15 of the same law.
In the provision, the perpetrator is threatened with a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison and/or a maximum fine of Rp. 300 million. The sentence can be increased by one third if the crime is committed within the scope of education or occurs more than once.
