60-year-old religious figure, identified only as Y, has allegedly molested four female students while '€œfixing'€ their auras in his house in Cibitung Kulon, Bogor regency.

One of the students, identified only as AH, said in a press conference at the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas PA) on Tuesday that the incident occurred when she and her friends, FS, AT and AN, all 15 years old, were going home from school on Saturday. '€œWe met him on the way home and greeted him,'€ AH said, as quoted by tribunnews.com.

According to her, Y, who was usually called Pak Haji (a person who had gone on a haj) said that their auras were covered and he wanted to help them to open them.

'€œHe brought us to his house and called us one by one to his room where he groped us,'€ she said.

The lawyer of the victims, M Jaya, said he had reported the case to the Bogor Police office on Monday. The case was also reported to Komnas PA.

'€œWe reported him with violating Article 82 of Law No. 35/2014 on child protection that carried a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison,'€ he said.
