A
male motorcycle taxi driver working for smartphone application Go-Jek has been fired for alleged sexual harassment against a young female passenger. The passenger's sibling posted message about the incident on social media. The now-viral post was initially shared via social media platform Path but has now been shared through other platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. According to the post, the Go-Jek driver, Irwan, picked up the 17-year-old victim at her school. During the ride to the young girl's home, Irwan told the victim stories of his sex life, causing the latter to be uncomfortable. The young girl reportedly ignored Irwan.
However, upon arriving at the specified destination, Irwan took the victim's hand and hugged her. When the victim refused his advances, Irwan sexually harassed her.
The post also included text messages Irwan had sent to the victim after the incident. Irwan told the victim not to 'misunderstand' and said that she still needed 'much learning'. PT Go-Jek Indonesia public relations manager Rindu Ragilia said in an official statement that Go-Jek had cut partnership with Irwan, who has confessed to sexually harassing the victim.
