CILACAP - A scout coach was arrested by the police for sexually abusing his student who was still in junior high school, in Cilacap Regency, Central Java.

The victim, who was only 13 years old, was repeatedly molested by the perpetrator and promised to marry after graduating from school.

The 26-year-old man with the initials RP was arrested at his home after the victim's parents reported his lecherous act to the police.

The immoral case began when the perpetrator became a scout coach at a junior high school in Cilacap Regency. During the Scout activity, the perpetrator met the victim NF, who was none other than his student. The perpetrator then approached the 13-year-old victim until they had a romantic relationship.

"With persuasion often giving snacks, the perpetrator carried out his depraved act by molesting the victim. Not only once, the perpetrator molested the victim five times at the perpetrator's boarding house. The victim was willing to be treated because he was consumed by the perpetrator's seduction who promised to be responsible for marrying the victim after graduating from school," said Cilacap Police Chief Kombes Pol Ruruh Wicaksono on August 28.

The depraved act of RP was discovered after the victim told her parents that she had had intercourse.

"Currently, the suspect has been detained for the past week. We are still in the process of further investigation," continued the police chief.

In order to be accountable for his actions, the perpetrator is now in the custody of the Cilacap Police. The perpetrator was charged with Article 81 of the Child Protection Law with a penalty of 15 years in prison.
