The Jakarta Police will summon Hasan bin Ja’afar Assegaf, a
influential cleric who is accused of sexually abusing one of his boy students.
“We must watch our every step carefully. Right now, we have
questioned 11 victims and plan to examine their psychological state and
determine the validity of their reports,” Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr.
Rikwanto told The Jakarta Post on Saturday.
He said that once the police felt that they had solid
evidence, they would summon Hasan for questioning.
“If he is indeed the perpetrator then he will face hard
time. Thus, give us room to complete the preliminary examinations first,” he
said. The victims filed reports to the Jakarta Police last December. Besides
filing a report to the police, the victims also filed reports to the Indonesian
Children Protection Commission.
Following the report, the KPAI summoned Hasan Assegaf on
Feb.13 but he didn’t show up. The case began when Hasan sent a letter to his
fellow religious teacher because she had not allowed her students to join in
Hasan’s group. Instead of answering the letter, the other teacher told the
public that Hasan had sexually abused his students.
