It was revealed that the alleged perpetrator of sexual harassment at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building was a relative of the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Khoirudin. This was revealed by the victim's attorney, Yudi, in his statement.

"The reported person is an old person. So it's not someone who just joined like the victim. There is also information circulating that the reported person is also a relative of the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD," said Yudi, Wednesday, April 23.

The victims and perpetrators are honorary employees or other individual service providers (PJLP) who serve in the PKS faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

According to the victim's statement, acts of sexual harassment committed by NS occurred between February and early March 2025.

The forms of abuse reported include physical actions such as kissing the victim's lips suddenly, swiping the genitals against the victim's shoulder, touching the victim's breasts, and communicating with elements of sexual harassment against the victim via text message.

"All these actions were carried out by NS without the consent of the victim, even making the victim uncomfortable in carrying out their daily duties," said Yudi.

Several acts of harassment committed by the reported occurred in the Council room. And the room is not equipped with CCTV.

Currently, the victim has reported a case of sexual harassment by the perpetrator with the initials NS to the Polda Metro Jaya.

"The victim sent an official report to Polda Metro Jaya on April 16 with evidence of a screenshot of the reported chat against the victim, a physical post-mortem, and a post-mortem. Physical post-mortem is rather difficult to prove because there are no impressions of harassment by the reported party," Yudi explained.

On Tuesday, April 22, the Secretariat of the DKI Jakarta DPRD conducted mediation by inviting victims and perpetrators to sit down together to discuss this case. However, the perpetrator was deliberately absent from the summons for mediation.

"Ini adalah inisiatif baik ini dibuat oleh salah satu Petinggi DPRD dan Sekretaris Dewan DPRD DKI Jakarta. Namun, sayang sekali terlapor tidak ada itikad baik untuk berupaya menyelesaikan masalah," ungkap Yudi.

"This is a good initiative made by one of the DPRD officials and the Secretary of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Council. However, it is a shame that the reported party has no good faith to try to solve the problem," said Yudi.
