PADANG - The Padang District Attorney, West Sumatra (West Sumatra) stated that the file of one of the perpetrators of the alleged molestation case against underage brothers with the initials ADA (16) was complete (P21).

"Based on research conducted by the Public Prosecutor (JPU), the case file for ADA is declared complete," said Head of the General Criminal Section of the Padang Attorney's Office, Budi Sastera, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 1.

Furthermore, the prosecutor's office will notify the police investigators to hand over the suspect and evidence (phase II).

"If the suspect and evidence have been handed over to us by investigators, this case will be transferred to the court as soon as possible," he said.

He said ADA, whose status as a child was in conflict with the law because he was 16 years old, was charged with article 76 E Juncto article 82 paragraph (1) of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 01 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to the Law. -Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection Becomes Law.

"The threat of punishment is half that of an adult, because he is still a minor," he explained, accompanied by the public prosecutor who handled the Irawati case.

Budi assessed that cases of sexual crimes against children should be a concern for all parties so that they do not happen again.

"All parties must play a role in reducing the number of sexual crimes against children in the local city, starting from parents, traditional leaders, religion, and related agencies," he said.

Previously, ADA was one of seven perpetrators in cases of alleged rape and molestation of 9 and 5-year-old sisters.

The perpetrators are the closest people who should protect the victim, namely the biological grandfather, uncle, cousin, and neighbors. Including ADA who is the victim's cousin.

Meanwhile, the process for the other perpetrators, namely DJ (70) and RO (23), is still under investigation by the Padang Police.

In that case there were two other perpetrators who were arrested by the police, namely the victim's brother and cousin, but diversion was applied to them because they were still under 12 years old.

Diversion is the transfer of the settlement of children's cases from the criminal justice process to a process outside of criminal justice. Meanwhile, the other two perpetrators are still wanted by the police.
