CIANJUR - Cianjur Police, West Java, arrested a grandfather who was involved in child molestation in Karang Tengah, who was a neighbor of the victim.

"The suspect faces up to 15 years in prison for abusing minors," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Cianjur Police, AKP Septiawan Adi, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 24.

In front of the police, the perpetrator admitted to molesting a minor who was his neighbour. The perpetrator has molested the victim 3 times.

"The perpetrator was charged with Law No. 17 of 2016 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law 1 of 2016 concerning the second Amendment to Law No. 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection with the threat of imprisonment for 15 years," Adi said.

His party is still conducting an investigation while waiting for the results of the post-mortem from the hospital. Meanwhile, the suspect is currently in the Cianjur Police detention room.

"We have arrested the perpetrators and further investigations are still ongoing," he said.

The police appealed to parents to be more careful in taking care of their children, whether in the neighborhood or when they were outside, because so far the perpetrators of abuse are mostly people who are close to family or familiar residents in the home environment.
