An official in the Department of Industry, Trade, and Cooperatives for Jembrana Regency is accused of sexually harassing one of his staff members.
Identified in a Tribun Bali report as IMY, the man allegedly harassed contracted staff member ES, 22, on August 8, 2015.
That afternoon, IMY allegedly fondled ES, but ES’s husband then entered the room, finding his wife being harassed by IMY, according to Tribun.
There was reportedly a brief altercation between the two men, but the incident was cooled down when an on duty police officer came over to compose the men.
Tribun Bali reports that they have tried to call IMY number of times for comment, but have not been given an answer.
Meanwhile, it appears the regency is investigating the incident.
“If there’s a report of an alleged breach of discipline, we immediately instruct the Inspectorate to follow up,” Regent I Putu Artha told media on Tuesday.
