Police officer allegedly among four rapists of 22-year-old woman in Karawaci

The Tamansari Police arrested four people suspected of raping a 22-year-old woman identified as S at a hotel in Karawaci, Tangerang. One of the suspects is reportedly a police officer.

“Yes, there is a rape case and one of the suspects is an officer from the Kalideres Precinct,” said Tamansari Police Chief Suwarno, as quoted by Metro TV yesterday.

One of the suspects, 37-year-old Nicky, began targeting the victim when he visited her kost while pretending to rent a kost for himself. The two then exchanged phone numbers.

Last Monday evening, Nicky contacted the victim to offer her a kost to rent. He asked her to meet him at a hotel in Tamansari, West Jakarta.

Once he got her into a hotel room, Nicky and his three accomplices, including police officer Dedi Aleksander Sinaga, held up the victim at gunpoint, accusing her of being a drug trafficker and took her mobile phone and Rp 1 million in cash.

The next day, the four men took S to a hotel in Karawaci where they raped her.

The four men were soon found out and arrested. Officer Dedi has been put on leave from the police force and is expected to face criminal charges along with his three accomplices.
