JAKARTA - Riyanto Simanjuntak (41), the alleged exhibitionist finally breathed free air after being released from legal entanglement at the East Jakarta Metro Police. The perpetrator was released on Thursday, May 26, yesterday.

The man, who is suspected of often engaging in exhibitionist acts, was released or not detained by the police because the perpetrator was mentally retarded.

"The victim did not make a report. The perpetrator is already a bit mentally retarded. (the perpetrator) was sent home yesterday, it happened on Wednesday night right," said the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasat Reskrim) of the East Jakarta Metro Police AKBP Ahsanul Muqaffi when contacted by VOI, Friday, May 27.

However, when asked whether there was evidence of psychological test results that stated the perpetrator was mentally retarded, the East Jakarta Police refused to explain.

"I haven't checked (the results of the psychological examination). As for the information from the investigators, (the perpetrators) are a bit underdeveloped. What is clear is that the victim does not want to make a report. The point is that's all," he said.

Currently, the alleged exhibitionist is not being detained at the East Jakarta Metro Police.

"How come, the name is a person with mental retardation and there is no report. But there has been a statement, there is a settlement by deliberation," he explained.
