Police to reopen BPN sexual assault case

The Jakarta Police say that they are ready to reopen the investigation of a sexual harassment case involving a senior official from the National Land Agency (BPN) last year.
South Jakarta District Court previously ordered the Police to resurrect the inquiry by granting the wish of one of the victims identified as AN during a pre-trial session on Monday.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto was quoted by kompas.com as saying that they are ready to abide by the verdict.
“The judge has expressed the court’s opinion that the evidence is sufficient. Therefore, we must not halt the investigation. We are back on track,” said Rikwanto on Tuesday.
The Jakarta Police officially closed the case on Nov. 23 last year, citing lack of evidence. The main suspect, who is a high-ranking BPN official, was identified only as GN.
Presiding judge Aksir of the South Jakarta District Court said he agreed with the objections from the plaintiff that the evidence comprising videotapes and communication by emails were sufficient for the investigation to continue.
GN allegedly sexually harassed three of his subordinates — AIF, AN and NPS in March and July last year in the BPN building located in South Jakarta. AIF reportedly suffered the most significant harassment and reportedly had been abused since 2010.
