The perpetrator, who is believed to be named Gilang, finally contacted the owner of the Twitter account @m_fikris to start his research. And he explained his research, and the perpetrator admitted that his research was related to wrapping.

2. Many Victims Already
Previously, the owner of the Twitter account did not want to reveal this 'shame'. However, because there have been several victims and to prevent more, he dared to speak up about this harassment.
"Honestly, at first I didn't think I could be subjected to such sexual harassment. I was really clueless about which research and fetish-related things, and I was quite shocked. But due to certain considerations (fear of more victims), I decided to speak up," he said.
