SAMARINDRA - Police are studying reports of alleged immoral acts committed by lecturers at the Faculty of Forestry, Mulawarman University (Unmul), Samarinda, East Kalimantan.

"We have received the report, and we are still studying the report," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Samarinda Police, Kompol Andika Dharma Sena in Samarinda, quoted from Antara, Monday, August 29.

The report was submitted to the Samarinda Police by the Legal Consultation and Aid Institute (LKBH) of the Faculty of Law Unmul and the Center for Women and Children Studies (PUSHPA).

The lecturer was accused of harassing a number of female students who were undergoing final duties in college.

"On behalf of the victims, we have officially reported this alleged immoral crime case to law enforcement officials for further processing," said Alfian, the victim's attorney.

Alfian as the representative of the LKBH of the Unmul Faculty of Law explained that the alleged immoral act by unscrupulous lecturers was carried out on three female students who were undergoing final duties in the course of 2021.

"This lecturer is the supervisor in the final task of the victims," explained Alfian.

Based on the statements of the victims, Alfian explained that the lecturers had asked several times to be massaged when the victim was conducting a thesis guidance consultation.

In addition, the lecturer often asks the victims to bring gifts as a levy for the final task guidance process.

"We have submitted a complete report experienced by the victims in an official report to the police, we report Crime Against Sexuality as referred to in Article 294 (2) of the KUHP," explained Alfian.

It is possible that there are more than three victims of this immoral crime by this lecturer, because only three students have dared to open up and submit to LKBH, the Unmul Faculty of Law, to be provided with legal assistance.

"We hope that this case report will be followed up according to the applicable regulations, because we hope that there will be learning to all parties, especially educational institutions so that cases like this do not happen again," he explained.

Currently, the victims have been accompanied by the Unmul Psychologist team, according to the psychologist's explanation, the victims are still traumatized by what happened to them.

"We will continue to monitor the progress of this case, we have also coordinated with BEM Fahutan Unmul and BEM FH Unmul so that the alleged case can be processed in accordance with applicable regulations," he explained.

The Dean of the Faculty of Forestry (Fahutan) Unmul Rudianto Amirta said he had taken a stand after receiving a report from the Student Executive Institute regarding his lecturer's report.

"We are taking steps to temporarily release both those reported by unscrupulous lecturers in carrying out their activities in the Fahutan campus environment as of April 28, 2020 until the case has a final legal decision," said Rudianto to the media crew.
