JAKARTA Dani, an unscrupulous teacher at a school in the North Grogol Area, South Jakarta, is still hunting for Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police. The 61-year-old man fled after molesting a student with the initials AD, aged 9 years. The legal process for this case has not yet been completed. The school also did not seem to want to interfere more deeply even though it happened in the classroom.

Wednesday, October 23, 2024, VOI reporters monitored the school situation during the day to find information about Dani. But unfortunately, none of the schools want to talk. One of the staff at the school explained that Dani had not taught since 2023. Dani was disabled two months before retiring to become a teacher.

"So it's 2 months before retiring. It's been deactivated, because of the request of the parents (victims). (So) Referring to and requests from parents to be disabled," said one of the staff to VOI, in the principal's room.

The school staff also emphasized that until now there has been no communication with Dani.

"Since he retired and was deactivated, there has been no (communication cut)," he said.

Therefore, the school completely handed over to the South Jakarta Metro Police for further handling.

"Just go to the police. Just open the BAP. We are cooperative. If it's not finished, it's a personal matter with the police. Not the school anymore," he said.

The staff who did not want to mention his name explained that he and his party did not want to explain Dani's case of obscenity. The school feels that the case has entered Dani personally.

"This is personal. (Even) the victim is also not going to school here. Move," he concluded.

In previous reports, the Head of Public Relations of the South Jakarta Metro Police, AKP Nurma Dewi, confirmed that Dani had been a suspect since March 2023. Even the South Jakarta Police have raised Dani's status as the person on the People's Wanted List (DPO). Dani is a fugitive from the police case of child molestation.

"We from the South Jakarta Metro Police have published a list of DPOs for a perpetrator with the initials D (Dani). The perpetrator committed sexual abuse against his students," he concluded.

As is known, Dani took action in the classroom. Information was received, Dani approached the victim during study hours. He touched the body of the 9-year-old boy.

Until finally the victim spoke to her parents that she no longer wanted to come to school due to her teacher's actions, Dani.

That's why the victim's parents reported Dani to the South Jakarta Metro Police.

Still around the scene, the activity at the school looks as usual. The teaching and learning process continues. Teachers and staff seem to tighten supervision in the school environment. It seems they don't want a similar incident to happen again.

One of the parents of the student who was picking up his son was reluctant to comment on the obscenity case that occurred at the school. In fact, the guards in front of the school who often help the children cross the road also did not want to comment.
