JAKARTA - The head of one of the pesantren (ponpes) in the Sukamulia area, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, with the initials MJ is a suspect in the case of alleged sexual harassment of female students.

Director of Women and Children Protection and Prevention and Handling of Human Trafficking (PPA-PPO) of the NTB Police, Kombes Pol. Ni Made Pujawati asked for time to reveal this to the public.

"Later there will be a time when I will explain," he said by telephone, Wednesday, February 18, quoted by Antara.

The determination of the head of the ponpes as a suspect was confirmed by the statement of the Head of the Mataram Child Protection Agency (LPA), Joko Jumadi.

"Yes, the person concerned (MJ) is a suspect," he said.

Joko as a companion of the victim confirmed the determination of MJ as a suspect based on the receipt of the Letter of Order to Start the Investigation (SPDP) from the NTB Police.

In the letter, Joko admitted that his party had received information from investigators that MJ had been secured by the police.

NTB Police investigators arrested the head of the ponpes at the Lombok International Airport (BIL), Central Lombok regency when he was about to leave for the Middle East region with his wife.

Joko explained that this case was revealed starting from the victim's confession who was known to have been sexually harassed while still a student.

There were two victims who came to the Mataram LPA to complain about the deviant acts of MJ as the head of the ponpes.

The teacher launched his action when one of the victims was still sitting on the bench of the Madrasah Aliyah. Another victim was raped when he was 17 years old.

"Some of them have been married for 10 years. After getting married, the alleged perpetrator can still deceive to have sex. Now the victim is suffering from severe depression," said Joko.

MJ's modus operandi is to deceive the victim that having sex with him is part of a uterine cleansing.

"So, the victim was raped on the grounds that this perpetrator was possessed by a jin," he said.

Furthermore, the Mataram LPA is now intensively providing assistance to victims for trauma recovery.
