MAKASSAR - The South Sulawesi Police confirmed the legal process and the results of the post-mortem for three children suspected of having been sexually assaulted or sexually abused by their father with the initials SA in 2019 in East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, according to procedures.

"The results of the post-mortem show that all the results are not there. I convey that it is related to sexual abuse, of course there must be damage to the sexual organs. Even though the child is 10 years old, he was not found at all," said Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Police, Kombes E Zulpan to reporters, in Makassar. quoted by Antara, Friday, October 8th.

In addition, the recommendations issued in accordance with the oath of office by the Bhayangkara Hospital doctor and the South Sulawesi Regional Police Biddokes stated that there were no abrasions from entering objects (sexual organs) and so on.

"Based on the post-mortem recommendation, investigators could not find any evidence related to the report. Moreover, there has been no police report, still a complaint report, an investigation has not yet been investigated. It can be published if there is evidence," Zulpan explained.

Zulpan said, related to the virality of this case to the public through social media, the reporting of a mother with the initials RA on suspicion of an assault case against her three children was carried out by her father SA, the East Luwu Police, who was said to have not responded.

Zulpan conveyed for clarification and fair reporting, that it was true that on October 19, 2019, the local police had received a complaint from RA. The person concerned reported a complaint that his three children had been treated indecently by one of his ex-husbands, SA.

The report submitted at that time was the alleged rape of his three minor children. With this report, the Lutim Regional Police received a complaint report, because this is a case of sexual abuse of minors so that it requires supporting data for the investigation process.

"This requires supporting evidence, at least two pieces of evidence and we did a post-mortem, first at the Malili Health Center (Lutim). Then, the results of the post-mortem were out, explaining that there was no damage to the genitals of the three, no torn damage. To the men There was also no damage to men," he said.

Feeling dissatisfied with the results of the post-mortem, the complainant as the victim's mother, then a second post-mortem was carried out at the Bayangkara Hospital in Makassar City in November 2019 to confirm the alleged involuntary act.

"There must be evidence submitted. This evidence does not exist. We have coordinated with the women's empowerment and child protection unit for assessment. The results of the assessment also did not find any trauma," he said.

Even when his father met him, the middle-ranking National Police officer continued, this child spontaneously embraced him and asked his father to sit on his lap. So there is no trauma that his father is the perpetrator.

Then, the Bhayangkara Hospital Psychiatrist conducted an assessment of the three children, the results were the same, there was no sexual violence. Likewise, when RA is assessed for psychological elements, it shows delusions (mental disorders).

After getting the results, the East Luwu Police stopped the case because there was not enough evidence. But later, because there was a report to the South Sulawesi Regional Police regarding legal certainty, a case was held in 2020 in this case.

"After it was held, there was not enough evidence so that the Polda recommendation to immediately issue an administration to stop the investigation or stop the investigation process (SP3) is appropriate," said Zulpan.

Previously, SA reported that her ex-husband RA was related to allegations of sexual violence against her three biological children, each with the initials AL (8), MR (6) and AL (4), in 2019.

Later, the police stopped the case because there was not enough evidence, and this case resurfaced in October 2021 because it went viral on social media regarding the process of stopping the investigation on the case being considered odd.
