The Depok Police’s Women and Children Protection Unit are currently conducting a manhunt for HM, a man suspected of sexually abusing the 8-year-old daughter of a Depok City Council member, TR.
HM, 40, worked as a helper in TR’s home in Cipayung, Depok. He was suspected to have sexually abused TR’s daughter at least five times. The girl’s family found out about the sexual abuse after the girl recently complained about pain in her genitals.
“When we asked, it turned out my niece was molested by HM. I couldn’t believe it, we treated him like family,” said Oz, the girl’s uncle, as quoted by Vivanews today.
Meanwhile, the victim hasn’t been able to be medically examined.
“We couldn’t examine the girl last night. Maybe she was still traumatized. We’re still investigating the case,” said Elly Padiansari, head of Women and Children Protection Unit at the Depok Police.
HM is currently on the run after the girl’s family reported the suspected sexual abuse to the police.
