Garut Resort Police said the number of victims of sexual harassment by obstetricians in Garut Regency, West Java, increased to five people.
They are currently still undergoing legal examination for further development.
"The total number of victims who have reported is five people," said Head of the Garut Police Criminal Investigation Unit AKP Joko Prihatin as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 22.
Last week, the Garut Police had named a suspect as an obstetrician with the initials MSF (33) in connection with a sexual harassment case against his patient.
When the suspect was named, he said, from a lot of information from the victim, there was only one female victim who officially submitted a report to the police.
Kasatreskrim revealed the results of the investigation and the development of examinations of suspects who stated that the number of victims had increased to five people, one of which was a patient who was in the CCTV video at the health clinic in the Garut City area.
"One of them is the victim whose case went viral on social media some time ago," he said.
AKP Joko said all the victims of the obscene doctor were still undergoing examination, then undergoing a post-mortem for police investigation purposes.
The Garut Police investigator team not only examined the five victims, but also continued to investigate the investigation of the suspect who is currently being detained to reveal it thoroughly because it is suspected that there are still many victims.
"We are investigating the perpetrators or suspects who we have detained. With this increase in victims, there is still a lot to be investigated," said AKP Joko.
He revealed that the five victims who gave the report were apart from the victims who were in the CCTV video in the examination room, there was also the first report that occurred outside the clinic, namely at the doctor's rented house.
Another victim, he said, was carried out at the clinic with the same mode as the suspect during the examination of the condition of the womb he was doing in 2024.
"Four other victims were all done in the clinic," he said.
As a result of his actions, the suspect languished in the Garut Police Detention Center for further legal examination.
