JAKARTA - The police arrested a young man suspected of sexually assaulting his underage girlfriend.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the North Lombok Police, AKP Punguan Hutahean, said the perpetrator with the initials AP was 19 years old.

"Now the perpetrator is in the detention cell of the North Lombok Police," he said when confirmed in North Lombok, Friday, October 11, which was confiscated by Antara.

The perpetrator is a resident of Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. He impregnated his girlfriend with the initials EM who was 15 years old.

Punguan said the perpetrator was arrested without a fight after the victim's parents reported the case against their child.

The police are targeting the perpetrators to be held accountable for their actions for further legal proceedings and investigations.

"The data that we managed to collect mention the case of sexual harassment by the perpetrator against the victim, who is his girlfriend, occurred in April 2024. Meanwhile, the victim and the perpetrator have been close since 2023," said Punguan.

He conveyed that the perpetrator took the victim to the garden and there the perpetrator took violent action against the victim.

After that, the victim's parents found out that their child was dating the perpetrator, so they immediately confiscated the victim's cellphone and did not allow their child to date.

The cellphone that was confiscated by his parents made the victim and the perpetrator never contact each other and have a relationship. However, the victim told her parents that she was pregnant because she had never had a period for several months.

Due to this irregularity, the victim's parents finally reported the incident that happened to their child to the police.

"We are hunting for the perpetrators by finding them at his house with his parents. We immediately took the perpetrators without any resistance," he concluded.
