Y, a 60-year-old cleric from Cibitung Kulon, Bogor, tricked four 15-year-old girls AH, FS, AT, and AN so he could molest them.
The girls were walking home from school on Saturday at around 11am when they bumped into the cleric.
“We were walking home but on the way we met the cleric and greeted him,” AH said, as quoted by Warta Kota today.
Then, the cleric said that the girls’ auras were ‘closed’ and that he knews how to open them. But he said the girls had to follow him home so he could do so.
The girls complied and were molested in the cleric’s house.
“We were brought into the cleric’s room and he wrote our names and said he’d treat us so we wouldn’t be virgins anymore,” AH said.
The cleric called them one by one to enter the room, where the girls say he groped them. The girls didn’t say why they didn’t just run away amid the suspicious circumstances.
The case was reported to the Bogor Regency Police as well as the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas PA). If proven guilty, Y the cleric could serve up to 15 years in prison for child sexual abuse.
