JAKARTA - The Chancellor of the inactive Pancasila University, Edie Toet Hendratno alias ETH, has finished undergoing an examination at the Polda Metro Jaya. However, Edie reluctant to talk about the alleged sexual harassment case that made him the reported person.

After giving information for approximately 2.5 hours before investigators, Edie only said that all the inspection processes went smoothly.

"Alhamdulillah, the interview went smoothly. The legal process is like this, nothing is extraordinary, and we are happy," Edie told reporters, Thursday, February 29.

ETH explained that he was happy because he was able to convey the actual series of events. However, it was not conveyed in detail about what had been expressed to the investigator during his examination as the reported person.

"I am happy because in the end we were able to reveal the truth. But next, because we have legal counsel, let him tell the story," he said.

Not much different, Edie Toet Hendratno's lawyer, Faizal Hafied, was also reluctant to comment on the investigation. The reason is because it is included in the matter of the case.

He only conveyed a case of alleged sexual harassment that made his client as a reported person with a political nuance. This allegation is because soon there will be a new rector election

"We believe that no LP will be sent if there is no rector election process. So this is very thick because there is a rector election this March, there is a reporting report so that it discredits our clients," said Faizal.

In this case, Edie was reported by two parties. One of them is RZ who is an employee at Pancasila University. The report is registered with the number LP/B/193/I/2024/SPKT/Polda Metro Jaya, dated January 12, 2024.

Meanwhile, the other LPs are delegations from Bareskrim Polri. Currently, the two reports are still in the process of being investigated.

The Chancellor of Pancasila University is suspected of violating Article 6 of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS).
