T
he Tangerang Police in Banten have arrested a 50-year-old man identified only by his initial K for allegedly having molested nine elementary school girls.
Tangerang Police criminal unit chief Comr. Alexander said the arrest was made after the parents of one of the victims reported K to the police.
"We have detained the molester of the nine kids," Alexander said as quoted by tribunnews.com on Tuesday.
"We are currently waiting for a psychiatrist to check on the suspect."
K is a resident of Pakulonan Barat in Kelapa Dua district, Tangerang.
Alexander said the police would delve further into the case, including by conducting psychological tests on the suspect, as a considerable number of victims had been discovered.
The man's alleged crimes were uncovered out after one of the victims told her parents about some health problems she was experiencing.
Alexander said the girl then told her parents about the molestation and her angered parents reported it to the police. (dea)
