JAKARTA - The police have decided to increase the status of the case for the spread of pornographic content involving COVID-19 patients and health workers (health workers) Wisma Atlet from investigation to investigation. This is because, in this guilt, a criminal offense was found

"Based on the title of pelara, investigators have decided to increase this case into fingerprints," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to VOI, Sunday, December 27.

With the upgrade of status to investigation, in the near future the police will name a suspect. So far, the police are still collecting evidence and clues.

But it does not rule out the party who will be named the suspect in this case, namely, the COVID-19 patient. Because if you refer to the report received by the Central Jakarta Metro Police, he is the party to be reported.

In addition, from a temporary investigation, he spread pornographic content through three social media accounts. Meanwhile, patients who were suspected of having sex with the health worker were still witnesses.

"If asked, the possibility of certainty could be a suspect because he was indeed the reported party," said Yusri.

Yusri said investigators had not yet named a suspect in this case because they still needed information from the COVID-19 patient. But the examination of him must be postponed because the patient is positive for COVID-19. So, it was decided to wait for his health condition to recover.

"The person concerned is still being treated, so we will first postpone (the examination). Later the investigators will determine the next steps," he said.

Even so, the police said that in this case there would likely be more than one suspect. Because, it is strongly suspected that a number of parties were involved in cases of immoral acts.

To search for suspects, the police plan to examine the Wisma Atlet health worker who was obscene with the COVID-19 patient. But it is not certain when the examination will take place.

Meanwhile, the health worker has undergone an examination once. He was examined while the status of the case was still under investigation. It was from that examination that the police found that there was a crime. Because, the health worker admitted that he was obscene with the patient.

"The witness is that the nurse has clarified, examined, confessed everything," said Yusri.

"After investigating, it fulfills the elements. We will summon the nurse again, yesterday it was an invitation to be a witness," continued Yusri.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Heru Novianto said the police already knew the places that were used as COVID-19 patients and health workers were immoral. However, the question of the origin of the original action is still being investigated.

"In one of the toilets in the treatment room at Wisma Atlet," said Heru.

Meanwhile, Heru said, the timing and intensity of the perverted act were not yet known by the police and were still being investigated.

"But, the patient is still COVID-19 so we can't check it yet. But later when it's cured we will check it," he said

Meanwhile, the Head of Information for the Jaya Regional Military Command (Kapendam), Lieutenant Colonel Arh Herwin BS, said that health workers and patients who commit immoral acts by having intimate relationships join the same social media group.

However, their introduction was still new. This is because they became acquainted with each other when the patient entered the Athlete's House to undergo isolation after being confirmed positive for COVID-19. Then, they got to know more closely through the gay social media group.

"They knew him after the patient was at the Athlete's House. But, he accessed him from the gay social media group. I think so," said Herwin.

Currently, the patient involved in this case is still in isolation. Likewise health workers due to close contact with people who have been confirmed positive for COVID-19.

Herwin said, after the case of nurses and COVID-19 patients having sex with the same sex was widely discussed on social media, the nurse was immediately examined and dismissed from her duties.

"The nurse was released yesterday. During the examination, he admitted his actions, yes, he was immediately dismissed. Pity the other medical personnel who actually work on patients," said Herwin.

In this case, the police used Article 36 concerning pornography and Article 45 paragraph 1 and Article 27 paragraph 1 concerning ITE. So, later the suspect in this case will face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison

In addition, this case began when news circulated on social media that one of the isolation patients at the COVID-19 Emergency Hospital, Wisma Atlet Kemayoran had an intimate relationship with a nurse of the same sex.

On Friday, December 25, the Twitter account @bottialter uploaded a photo of an alleged isolation room at Wisma Atlet. In the photo, you can see personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of a hazmat suit lying on the floor.

The @bottialter account also uploaded a screenshot of a conversation between himself and one of the people named "Wisma Nurse" in a perverted tone. He also claimed to have had an intimate relationship with the nurse.

This upload received a lot of criticism from netizens. After going viral on Twitter social media, the owner of the @bottialter account locked the account. Then, the management of Wisma Atlet immediately carried out an examination until they submitted this immoral case to the police.
