The victim's attorney, M. Tohri Azhari, explained that this rape case occurred in the victim's boarding house which belonged to the reported party, Friday (12/24).

The reported carried out the action by visiting the victim who was in the boarding house. The mode reported was pretending to ask for the convenience of the victim, who had only rented the boarding house for three months.
