BANYUWANGI - Police arrested MS (40) for having sex with his stepdaughter for 8 years in Banyuwang, East Java. The depraved act was carried out since the victim was in elementary school (SD).

This case was only revealed after the victim told his girlfriend. The victim's boyfriend then reported this sexual abuse case to the victim's mother.

The victim's mother reported to the police until the police finally arrested the perpetrator of the molestation in Bangorejo District, Banyuwangi.

"We received reports of the sexual intercourse of a minor. The stepfather had sexual intercourse with his son for 8 years," said Bangorejo Police Chief AKP Mujiono, Monday, July 12.

The suspect in the investigation admitted to molesting his stepdaughter. But the victim did not dare to report because the suspect was threatened.

"The victim was sexually assaulted when the house was quiet. During the day his wife worked. But if the night was always above 12 o'clock at night, the perpetrator carried out the action," added AKP Mujiono.

The perpetrators were charged with the Child Protection Law and/or Article 289 of the Criminal Code. The maximum penalty is 15 years in prison.
