She was lured with money and a phone

Sukabumi Police Chief, AKBP Rita Suwadi, said the 8-year-old victim was lured with money and a phone to get her to go along with what the perpetrator wanted.

Meanwhile, AKP Bagus Panuntun, the Head of Sukabumi City Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit, said the perpetrator had initially threatened the victim not to tell anyone, which left her terrified.

The incident happened at the school when the perpetrator’s wife, who also runs the school canteen, wasn’t around. It took place both in the classroom and in the canteen.

“The perpetrator admitted to hurting his wife because his needs weren’t met, and then transferred his desires onto the victim,” he said.

She wasn’t able to bear her dad’s actions

Unable to bear her father’s actions any longer, the victim finally told her mom who then filed a police report at the Women’s and Children’s Service Unit (PPA) of Sukabumi Police.

“The evidence collected includes a purple short-sleeved t-shirt with cartoon designs, a pair of green shorts, and white cartoon-patterned underwear.”

If found guilty, the perpetrator could face charges under Indonesian Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, with a minimum sentence of five years and up to 15 years in prison.
