TANGERANG - Rajeg Polsek Tangerang Polresta has arrested a man with the initials MS (37) on suspicion of molesting his 19-year-old sister-in-law in Rajeg District, Tangerang Regency.

"A man with the initials MS, a resident of Rajeg District, Tangerang Regency, has been arrested for allegedly molesting his sister-in-law," said Nurjaman in a written statement, Saturday, July 22.

Nurjaman explained that the suspect in carrying out his action pretended to treat the victim. The action was carried out at the perpetrator's house on Sunday, July 10 in the Rajeg area.

"The suspect, who claimed to have supernatural abilities, said that his sister-in-law had been abused, the victim and her father, who was none other than the suspect's father-in-law, came to the suspect's house to undergo occult treatment. At the suspect's house, the victim was asked to enter the room, while the victim's father was in the living room with the suspect's wife or the victim's sister. With the excuse of a treatment ritual, the suspect asked the victim to take off her clothes, but the victim refused, but was forced by the suspect. After the victim took off his clothes, that's when the suspect carried out his action," he explained.

According to the results of the examination, continued Nurjaman, the suspect had done this many times to the same victim, his sister-in-law. Because, continued Nurjaman, the perpetrator reasoned that treatment could not be done only once.

“After that, the perpetrator reasoned that the treatment could not be done only once. The suspect asked the victim to come back tomorrow. The victim then came again the next day or Monday (11 July) to the suspect's house. This time the victim asked for treatment not to be like before, but the suspect argued that the treatment to expel witchcraft or supernatural beings must be done in this way, "he explained.

The victim tells what the perpetrator did at that time. Suddenly the victim's family did not accept.

"The victim narrated the incident to the victim's parents and sister or in-laws and the suspect's wife and the incident was reported to the Rajeg Police by the family," he explained.

After receiving a report from the family of the officer, he immediately carried out further investigations, "The officers immediately carried out an investigation, then the officers immediately arrested the suspect and took him to the Rajeg Police Sector for further examination," said Nurjaman.

The suspect is currently being held at the Rajeg Police Station to account for his actions. For his actions, the suspect is threatened with Article 289 of the Criminal Code concerning Obscene Acts with a penalty of 9 years in prison.
