SURABAYA - The Surabaya District Court (PN) will try the suspect Moch Subchi Azal Tsani (MSAT) alias Mas Bechi, in the student molestation case on Monday, July 18 next week. The case, which has emerged since 2019, just finished filing and delegating phase two or P-21 last week.

"The first trial will be held on July 18," said Public Relations of the Surabaya District Court, Anak Agung Gede Agung Parnata, confirmed on Monday, July 11.

The Surabaya District Court has received the submission of the files and the defendant from the East Java Prosecutor's Office on Friday last week. Currently, the PN is preparing a trial to try the suspect, Mas Bechi, for his actions.

The preparations that Agung meant were online (virtual) and offline trials, directly in court. "Everything is ready, just waiting for the trial schedule next week," he said.

Mas Bechi or MSAT was caught in a case after the victims were reported to the Jombang Police on suspicion of sexual abuse in October 2019. The complainant is a woman from Central Java. Mas Bechi was later named a suspect in December 2019, but the case that attracted public attention did not end.

The East Java Police finally took over the case and Mas Bechi was named a suspect in 2020. Disapproved, Mas Bechi submitted a pretrial to the Surabaya District Court for the determination of the suspect, but the judge refused. The case continued and investigators submitted the first phase of the dossier to the East Java High Court and it was declared complete or P21.

In January 2022, Mas Bechi was summoned by the East Java Regional Police to undergo the process of handing over the second stage of the East Java Regional Police's investigators to the East Java District Attorney's Office, but he was absent. The East Java Regional Police finally put himself on the wanted list (DPO) or fugitives. Mas Bechi finally surrendered on Thursday last week and was detained at the Medaeng Rutan.

As a result of his actions, Mas Bechi was charged with multiple articles to indict the defendant. Starting from Article 285 of the Criminal Code which carries a penalty of 12 years in prison, Article 289 of the Criminal Code which carries a penalty of nine years in prison, and Article 294 of the Criminal Code which carries a penalty of seven years in prison.
