JAKARTA - The Pemalang Resort Police (Polres) in Central Java (Central Java) revealed a case of sexual harassment of minors with a suspect with the initials MA (27), a resident of Koja District, North Jakarta.
Pemalang Police Chief AKBP Eko Sunaryo said that the disclosure of the case began with a report from the victim's parents with the initials T (49), a resident of Taman District, Pemalang Regency, who said that his daughter was taken away by the suspect without his parents' permission.
"We secured the suspect MA after receiving a report from the victim's parents. After receiving the report, we immediately carried out an investigation and arrested the perpetrator," he said in Pemalang, Thursday, April 24, which was confiscated by Antara.
He said the incident began when the victim's child said goodbye to his mother on the grounds that he would play at a friend's house and asked his father to take him to his school.
However, he said, his daughter, who is still a student at the vocational high school (SMK), did not come home, causing panic from her parents.
"Then the victim's parents tried to find the whereabouts of the child by contacting school friends and the school party but no one knew about it, so the incident was reported to the Resort Police," he said.
After an investigation was carried out, he said, his party learned of the whereabouts of the victim's child in the North Jakarta area along with the Supreme Court suspect.
"Furthermore, we picked up the victim and brought the suspect MA to the Resort Police for further investigation," he said.
