An elderly Australian citizen was arrested by Bali Police in Tabanan on Monday.
Identified as RA, the 70-year-old was arrested for alleged sexual abuse.
“He was arrested in his home in Tabanan at around 6:30 pm. He did not fight, because he’s old. We caught him for committing sexual abuse against children,” Bali Police spokesman Hery Wiyanto said on Tuesday, as quoted by Okezone.
Wiyanto explained that the arrest was conducted by the Women and Children’s Protection Unit (PPA) of Bali Police after receiving reports from the public.
According to Wiyanto, the PPA is currently investigating sexual abuse cases linked to RA.
“So far we’ve checked approximately five witnesses. Obviously we are still investigating,” he stated.
