JAKARTA - Alternative medicine is certainly the choice of some people. Low cost and often successful in curing diseases, is one of the reasons.

However, behind all that, there are still some irresponsible people who take advantage of it. Many cases of sexual abuse or sexual harassment with alternative medicine modes.

One example is a case of sexual immorality in which a woman with the initials R (37) is a victim. His intention to recover from his illness brought disaster.

Tuesday, December 16, marked the beginning of the case. The victim, at that time, came to the perpetrator's house in the Setu area, Bekasi, which is known to cure various diseases. Husen Alatas or commonly known as Habib Husen Alatas is the man.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said that when the treatment process was about to begin, the perpetrator asked the victim to come into the room. The reason is of course to cure the illness.

When the healing ritual began, the victim was made semi-conscious by the perpetrator who had committed an indecent act. "In the context of sexual abuse, the perpetrator touched several parts of the victim's body," Yusri told VOI when contacted, Wednesday, December 18.

Not accepting the act of sexual immorality, R fought back and fled, even though his condition was half conscious. Long story short, the treatment did not take place as it should. Then, the legal route was chosen to settle the case.

Meanwhile, the General Criminal Investigation Directorate, which received the report, immediately followed up. Monday, December 16, the perpetrator was secured at his residence which is also the location for his alternative medicine practice.

"It is true that we have secured it. The Resmob team arrested a perpetrator with the initials HA," said Yusri.

With the perpetrator arrested, the police immediately named him a suspect. Of course, this determination was based on several evidence and statements of witnesses. Article 290 of the Criminal Code on obscenity with a maximum threat of 9 years in prison has been charged against him.

However, the police are still investigating the case. This is because it is suspected that there are still other victims for the act of sexual immorality committed by the fake Habib. "It is still being developed to find out whether there are other victims," said Yusri.
