TASIKMALAYA - The Tasikmalaya Police, West Java, has named a teacher at one of the Islamic boarding schools as a suspect in a suspected immoral case against his female students, causing the victim to experience psychological disorders.

"We have named the suspect after being equipped with evidence," said Tasikmalaya Police Chief AKBP Rimsyahtono during a press conference on the disclosure of immoral cases at the Tasikmalaya Police, Thursday, December 16.

He conveyed that the suspect with the initials AS (48) was an unscrupulous teacher who committed immoral acts against his female students at one of the Islamic boarding schools in Tasikmalaya, the southern region.

The suspect, he said, was based on evidence in the field having committed immoral acts against three underage female students by pretending to treat the sick victim in the female student dormitory.

"The perpetrator did it when the victim was sick and resting in the girls' dormitory alone," he said as quoted by Antara.

He revealed that the case began based on reports from the community and victims, then the police did an in-depth investigation until finally there was evidence and named a suspect.

The results of the provisional investigation, said the Police Chief, the perpetrator's action had occurred five years ago, then the last incident was in August 2021 until the perpetrator was finally arrested.

"The deviant behavior by the perpetrators has occurred since five years ago and the last one was in August 2021," he said.

Head of the Tasikmalaya Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Dian Pornomo, added that his party had detained the suspect and secured evidence, including the victim's birth certificate, the clothes of the three victims, cell phones of both the victim and the perpetrator.

The suspect is currently in the detention cell of the Tasikmalaya Police for further legal examination and has been charged with Article 82 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, which carries a threat of 15 years in prison.

The head of the Regional Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAID) of Tasikmalaya Regency, Ato Rinanto, appreciated the police's swift action in dealing with this immoral case and finally named a suspect.

He hopes that incidents of immoral acts against women and children will not happen again in Tasikmalaya Regency, especially in educational institutions.

"We hope this is the last incident," he said.
