Investigators are gathering video and audio evidence and say the number of victims could rise from seven as the case develops.
Polda Metro Jaya and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jakarta Selatan Police are investigating allegations of sexual violence against seven students at an Islamic boarding school in Jakarta Selatan. Police received the report on 8 November 2026, while the alleged abuse is said to have been ongoing since 2025. Police have identified the suspected perpetrator as F, who, in initial questioning, is believed to have used a tactic of asking the students to give him massages. The Polda Metro Jaya directorate for women and children and human trafficking has also deployed a joint team. Investigators are now collecting evidence, including video and audio recordings, while questioning the victims. Police are also working with UPT P3A Provinsi DKI Jakarta, UPTD PPA, social workers, and Komnas Perlindungan Anak for support because the victims are still children.
