JAKARTA - Miss Universe Indonesia 2023 finalists, NL, officially reported PT Capella Swastika Karya, which is known to have license for Miss Universe in Indonesia. The report on the alleged sexual harassment was filed at Polda Metro Jaya on Monday, August 7.

Meanwhile, reports of alleged sexual harassment are the aftermath of the implementation of body checking or naked body examinations for finalists Miss Universe Indonesia 2023.

"We have received reports related to allegations of sexual harassment that violates the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence experienced by our younger siblings. They have a finalist in an extraordinary beauty competition event in Indonesia called MUID," said Melissa Anggraeni as the reporter's attorney when met in Senopati, South Jakarta on Monday, August 7 evening.

Body checking itself is commonplace in beauty events, but Melissa has a problem with how MUID holds body checks which are considered to have been carried out without any clear procedures.

"The incident occurred on August 1, 2023, two days before the Grand Final. Even the PD (Provincial Director) was not notified of any body checking," said Melissa.

Earlier we submitted evidence to the police, the agenda runway, there was no mention of body checking at all. Of course, these contestant friends were surprised. At first the fitting agenda, it turned out that body checking, which was carried out recklessly, violated women's private rights," he continued.

Not only without notification, Melissa also questioned the decision of the organizers who asked the finalists to appear almost naked in a fairly open place.

"Maybe you can imagine that the ballroom is open. The only Ballroom we know is CCTV from all angles and is only blocked in a mere way, blocked by a banner, blocked by a clothes hanger," said the lawyer.

When done, it's not just them themselves, sometimes some are combined with other contestants. Sometimes there are times when they undergo an examination, then people outside are still visible, people inside can also go in and out as they please," he added.

Previously, the issue of Miss Universe Indonesia 2023 finalists being photographed naked was widely discussed after Sally Giovanny, National Director of Miss Universe Indonesia 2023 uploaded a statement of not accepting her Instagram Story.

Therefore, Sally together with the attorney and finalist representative Miss Universe Indonesia came to the Polda Metro Jaya to make a report on alleged acts of sexual harassment.
