A
man identified as R has been reported to the police in Depok, West Java, for sexually abusing the 7-year-old friend of his granddaughter.
The victim’s lawyer, M Syarifudin Amin, escorted her and her mother to the Depok Police on Monday to file the report.
“I came here to ask the police to immediately arrest the perpetrator. We came here with a witness who was nearly a victim of R,” Syarifudin said as quoted by kompas.com.
According to Syarifudin, R raped the victim a few months ago in an empty house not far from R’s own home in Pancoran Mas, Depok. He added that R had lured the young girl to the location by promising her Rp 5,000 (34 US cent).
“R is a married man, he is around 50 years old and works as a civil servant in Jakarta,” Syarifudin said.
The case was revealed after the victim told her cousin about what R had done to her.
Meanwhile, the police have not released any official statement regarding the case.
Syarifudin said if the Depok Police did not respond to the report, he would proceed to National Police and Indonesian Children Protection Commission (KPAI). (gis)
