East Jakarta Police arrested Abdul Aziz Salam, 28, a Koran recital teacher, for alleged sexual assault on his male pupils.

'€œWe have evidence of anal rape of 14 children over the period of December last year to April,'€ detective chief Adj. Sr. Comr. M. Saleh said, as quoted by tempo.co on Thursday.

Saleh said the suspect asked each victim to massage him and he later returned the '€œfavor'€ by massaging each child before sex. He gave each victim up to Rp 2,000 (21 US cents) after the assault and told them that what he had done to them was nothing out of the ordinary.

The suspect admitted to police that he worked as a courier for a textile manufacturer during the day, moonlighting as a Koran recital teacher in Cakung in the afternoon.

Pedophiles go where the children are, organizing activities related to religion, scouts, school, camping, etc.

It'€™s ironic to read some Catholic priests, Muslim preachers (like mention above), Hindu etc, religious teachers on one side try to correct others and themselves commit such filthy crimes. It'€™s just sick.

Vidhya

Those who sexually assault others, especially minors who can'€™t defend themselves, don'€™t realize that, by committing such atrocious crimes, they also greatly damage their own souls.
