ebon Jeruk Police are investigating a sexual abuse case in which a father has been accused of molesting his two daughters in Kedoya, West Jakarta.

Police said the daughters, age 14 and 16, reported the alleged sexual abuse to their mother on Sunday night.  

The older daughter said she had been abused by her father since she was in junior high school, while her younger sister claimed the abuse began this year.  

The eldest daughter also claimed her father had filmed her while she was using the restroom.  She said the video footage was on her father’s phone.

Both alleged victims said they had been afraid to report the alleged abuse. Their mother accompanied them to the police on Sunday night to file a report.  The police have declared the father a suspect.  

The police have questioned the mother as a witness, while the alleged victims have undergone examinations at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta. (rdi)
