progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – Two minors who were victims of sexual abuse by their stepfather received special assistance and protection from the Women and Children Services Unit (PPA) of the Polres Metro Jakarta Timur Criminal Investigation Unit and the Jakarta Timur Regional Child Protection and Supervision Commission (KPPAD) UPT. This special assistance and protection is provided to restore the physical and psychological condition of victims who have experienced trauma.
Kapolres Metro Jakarta Timur, Kombes Pol Nicolas Ary Lilipaly in his statement explained, that the two victims, namely M (8) and SS (16), were targets for expressing their perverted and obscene thoughts by BS (44), who was none other than their stepfather. The perpetrator committed his obscene act in September 2023 when the victim’s biological mother was not at the house located on Jalan Sepakat VI, Cilangkap, Cipayung, Jakarta Timur.
“The suspect committed obscene acts against his two stepchildren when the victim’s biological mother (the suspect’s wife) wasn’t at home. And the depraved suspect also has an interest in the victim,” said Kapolres Nicolas.
The suspect BS (44) is currently locked up in the Polres Metro Jakarta Timur detention cell. He was arrested along with as evidence one piece of white trousers with a black polka dot motif and one pair of red trousers with a yellow dot motif on the front belonging to victim M.
For his obscene acts, the suspect BS was charged under Article 76 e in conjunction with Article 82 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2016 concerning the stipulation of Government Regulations in lieu of Law Number 1 of 20216 concerning the second amendment to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection . He was threatened with imprisonment for 15 years or more because his status as the victim’s stepfather received a bonus of another third from the criminal law.
“This incident is certainly a deep sorrow for all of us and is a reminder to be vigilant so that similar cases do not occur in the future,” he said again.
“We all hope that this incident can be a lesson for everyone to work together to protect our children to avoid similar incidents,” added Kapolres Nicolas at the end of his explanation. (Bembo)
