LABUHANBATU - A widow with the initials RS is still waiting for legal certainty over the report of alleged persecution she experienced. Although the report was made as early as May 2026, until now the development of handling the case has not shown significant progress.
The victim's lawyer, Daniel Hutasoit, said his client had reported a suspected case of abuse allegedly committed by a woman with the initials NS. The report was initially received by the Bilah Hilir Police before it was handed over to the Labuhanbatu Police for further handling.
"The report has been received and processed according to procedure. Because the Bilah Hilir Police Station does not have a Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA), the case was then transferred to the Labuhanbatu Police," said Daniel, Tuesday.
The report was recorded with the number LP/B/70/V/2026/SPKT/POLSEK BILAH HILIR/POLRES LABUHANBATU/POLDA SUMATERA UTARA dated May 4, 2026.
According to Daniel, his client hopes that the legal process can run quickly and provide certainty. Moreover, the article suspected in the case is Article 471 of the Criminal Code concerning minor persecution.
Before taking legal action, the victim admitted that he had tried to resolve the issue properly by sending a letter to the reporter. However, until the police report was made, the letter was said to have not received a response.
"We have tried to open a space for a good solution. However, there was no response, so the victim chose to take legal action," he said.
Daniel added that his party had also submitted a number of supporting evidence to investigators, including photographic documentation and witness statements who knew about the incident.
Furthermore, Daniel asked the police to pay serious attention to public reports, especially for victims who seek protection and justice through the legal process.
"The victim just wants to get certainty and justice. We hope that the process of handling this case can run professionally and transparently so that the public still has confidence in law enforcement," he said.
Until this news was written, there was no official statement from the Labuhanbatu Police regarding the latest developments in handling the report.
