ACEH - The Banda Aceh Police Satreskrim has entrusted a student suspected of sexually abusing minors to the Social Welfare Organization (LPKS) of the Aceh Social Service.

"We have entrusted the perpetrator MF (14) to the Aceh Social Service LPKS for guidance," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the Banda Aceh Police, AKP M Ryan Citra Yudha, in Banda Aceh, as reported by Antara, Saturday, July 10.

AKP Ryan said that the sexual abuse of children was carried out by a student from Aceh Besar District. The victim is a neighbor of the perpetrator.

"MF itself was secured by the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA) of the Polresta after being reported by the victim's parents," he said.

AKP Ryan said that cases of sexual harassment like this were not the first to be handled in 2021, because cases committed by students so far are rare, with the exception of adult perpetrators.

The harassment incident occurred when the MF perpetrator took the victim's younger brother by carrying him to the scene. Apparently the victim's brother followed the actions of the perpetrators.

"After lowering the victim's sister who was carried by the perpetrator, the perpetrator then took the victim on his lap while committing sexual harassment. This act has been done twice by MF against the victim," said Ryan.

When he was being harassed, Ryan continued, his actions were known to local residents until they were reported to the victim's parents, and continued reporting to the authorities.

"For his actions, MF was charged with Article 50 in conjunction with Article 47 of Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law in conjunction with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System," said AKP Ryan.
