SOLO - Victims of sexual violence committed by a taekwondo instructor with the initials DS (44) in Solo City increased from three people to seven people. The attorney for the first victim, Widhi Wicaksono, said that the fourth victim appeared after the police held a case release. The fourth victim took the initiative to report the problem to the police themselves. The last three victims reported through the complaint channel which was opened by Widhi. "We immediately directed the fifth, sixth, and seventh victims to the police. They are not our clients, we only took them to the Resort Police to report directly," he said in Solo, Antara, Monday, March 27. The complaint channel was opened because he felt that there was not only one victim of sexual harassment by DS. "Actually, from the complaint, we saw that our client was the first victim, then how come we found the second, third victim, then we opened the complaint post, it was proven to add more," he said. Regarding legal assistance, he is ready to do it. "If necessary, we invite other lawyer friends, there are several names who are willing to help," he said. He hopes that the police can ensnare the perpetrators by Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence with a penalty of up to 15 years in prison. "Article 15 is also included. If it is carried out by education personnel, including instructors, for example, the sentence can be increased by up to a third. It is good to ensnare perpetrators of child sexual predators," he said.
