The Mataram Police are handling a sexual harassment case by a Koran teacher with the initials HB (35) in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara to a number of his students while reading the Koran.

Head of Subunit I for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA) of the Mataram Police Satreskrim, Aiptu Sri Rahayu, said that since the report on this case came, at least six students have claimed to be victims of HB reported.

"So, there are quite a lot of students, there are 26 children. We haven't asked all of them for information. So far, only six child victims have admitted to being abused by the reported party," he said in Mataram, Antara, Wednesday, July 30.

From the confession of six child victims, he explained, the reported committed immoral acts by holding the victim's sensitive area since 2022.

"It happened a long time ago, and quite often. It was only recently reported by the victim's parents," he said.

The mode of the reported abuse, he said, was by looking for the fault of his students when reading the Koran.

"The reported party always has a way to carry out the action. Wrong reading, the victim was pinched in his sensitive area, held. Sometimes, if the victim is silent, embraced, his hand enters the sensitive area of the victim," he said.

The actions of the reported parties were realized by child victims after one of them began to tell stories to fellow students.

"After this one told his friend, his friend also experienced the same thing. From there these children later realized and reported to their parents," said Sri.

From the handling of reports from parents of child victims, Sri said that the legal process is still ongoing at the investigation stage. The collection of evidence focuses on examining child victim witnesses.

"In the near future, we will conduct an investigation of the scene at the reported house, located in the Ampenan area," he said.
