JAKARTA - The police will forcibly arrest Moch Subchi Al Tsani alias MSAT, a suspect in the case of sexual abuse of female students at the Sbiddiqoyyah Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes), Jombang. Currently, the arrest process is still ongoing.
"Yes, the arrests are still ongoing," said Head of Public Relations of the East Java Police, Kombes Dirmanto, when confirmed, Thursday, July 7.
Moch Subchi Al Tsani alias MSAT is said to be at the Sbiddiqoyyah Islamic Boarding School. He was there to avoid the police.
Based on the video received by VOI, the process of arresting the suspect involved many members of the police. This is because the masses from the Islamic boarding school tried to hinder the arrest process.
On the previous occasion, the Director of General Crimes at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Brigadier General Andi Rian, said that the case handled by the East Java Police and the Jombang Police did not have any significant problems.
"So far the handling of cases by the East Java Police has gone smoothly without any problems," he said.
Regarding the process of handling this case, this one-star general said it was running smoothly. The case file has been declared complete or P-21.
"Only the second phase of the process has not been completed," said Andi.
MSAT is one of three suspects in sexual harassment cases against female students. The determination of his status as a suspect has been carried out since 2019.
However, when the second phase was about to be carried out or delegated to the Prosecutor's Office, the police failed to arrest the perpetrators. Even his father, who is an influential kiai in Jombang, asked for his son's case to be dismissed.
The perpetrator had submitted a pretrial to the Surabaya District Court, but the request was rejected by the panel of judges in December 2021 due to shortcomings from the respondent.
MSAT previously denied harassing Islamic boarding school students and stated that they had been slandered.
