JAKARTA - Another act of sexual harassment happened to a woman with the initials M, when she was about to shop for credit at a cellphone counter located on Jalan Raya Pondok Gede, Lubang Buaya Village, Makasar District, East Jakarta. According to the victim's confession, the perpetrator is suspected of having special needs.

The perpetrator allegedly followed the victim, then hugged the victim from behind and blackmailed the victim's breast.

"At first I walked alone, didn't realize someone was following me or what. When I bought the credit he (the perpetrator) didn't have it yet. When he finished buying credit and turning around, he immediately spent it. He was hit on the breast because his body was still cheating," said victim M to reporters, Tuesday, January 17.

In addition to touching the sensitive part of the victim, the perpetrator also said something to the victim.

"So she didn't have time to touch her breasts completely, then hit her neck and cheeks. Then she said she was very beautiful, she initially laughed at her and said sorry, sis. She left," said M.

The victim then screamed to the point that other residents tried to help. The perpetrator was arrested and beaten by the mob.

"I screamed, I cried, I was in a bad mood," said the victim.

The perpetrator was then handed over to the police station. Meanwhile, the victim hopes that the authorities can provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of sexual harassment.

"He should be able to take action even though he is a person with special needs. Because in my opinion he still has a desire, it is dangerous if there are women who walk alone," he said.

Meanwhile, Kapolsek Makasar Kompol Zaini said victims of sexual harassment had not yet made a police report.

"Regarding yesterday's viral incident on social media, we are still conducting further investigations. The victim has not reported the incident," he said.
