The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Malang Police, AKP Donny Kristian Baralangi, said that after successfully taking the victim to his rental room, YD attempted to commit sexual assault. The perpetrator had tried to undress the victim, but the attempt was cancelled because the victim was menstruating.

"Frustrated that he couldn't rape the victim, he finally held her captive in his closet," Donny said to reporters at Malang Police Station on Friday (17/6).

2. Perpetrator Persuades Victim

According to Donny, YD persuaded the victim by claiming to help her retrieve her diploma that was being held at her school. But during the journey, he diverted her to his rented room in Sambigede Village, Sumberpucung District, Malang Regency with the intention of committing sexual assault on the victim.

"Because the victim resisted, her hands were tied up," Donny said.

3. Perpetrator was Previously Married

The perpetrator is known to have been married but divorced and works as a mechanic in daily life. In his confession, the perpetrator liked the victim and had a close relationship with the victim's parents.

When playing at the victim's house, he learned about his child's diploma being held back due to economic factors. The story was conveyed by the victim's parents.

"Finally, the complaint was used by the perpetrator to carry out his actions," he said.

4. Victim Picked Up by Perpetrator

Armed with that story, the perpetrator picked up the victim on Thursday, June 9, 2022, when his parents were not at home. But the perpetrator had previously played at the victim's house on the previous night, Wednesday (8/6).

The victim managed to escape from captivity after breaking the wardrobe and fleeing from the back door. The victim asked for help from nearby residents who brought him to the police station.

6. Threatened with Article 333 of the Criminal Code

The perpetrator had actually been involved in three criminal cases, with two previous cases being cases of sexual abuse in Sidoarjo in 2005. As a result of his actions, the perpetrator is threatened with Article 333 of the Criminal Code concerning Kidnapping, with a punishment of 9 years in prison.

He has served a seven-year prison sentence, but then became involved in a case of assault. In the second case, the perpetrator was sentenced to one year and six months in Lowokwaru Prison, Malang.

"The perpetrator is a repeat offender, and this is the third time," he said.
