Grobogan Sexual Abuse: Teen’s Lawyer Alleges Corrupt Tactic of Bribes and Grades for Silence
Article:
Grobogan, Central Java – The legal representative of a victim, a 15-year-old student of a local middle school (SMP), has alleged that the educator accused of sexual misconduct used threats and bribes, including monetary gifts and improved grades, to exploit the teenager over a period of two years.
"The first incident occurred when he was in the 8th grade," said the victim’s lawyer, Hernawan, in an interview with detikJateng on Thursday (9/1/2025). The lawyer went on to state that the victim had been subjected to these abusive acts approximately 10 times within this two-year span.
The victim’s current conditions are described as traumatic, with the student having changed schools and enrolled in a pesantren after the incidents. "He’s been in a state of shock, like he’s lost and confused," Hernawan stated. "He didn’t continue his education at the same school, he’s traumatized. That’s been ongoing for about six months now, since the incident where he was beaten."
The perpetrator, a male teacher at the school, is said to have lured the victim with promises of financial rewards and improved grades. "The teacher promised him money, clothes, and improvements in his grades if he complied with his demands," said Hernawan.
In addition to sexual abuse, the victim was also allegedly assaulted by the teacher’s father while he was alone in the teacher’s residence. "The victim was caught and beaten by the teacher’s father," Hernawan said, describing the incident when the teacher’s father entered the house after hearing noises.
Previously, rumors circulated about a female teacher and a student engaging in sexual misconduct, leading to investigations by local authorities. The Grobogan Police are still looking into these allegations.
The Chief of the Women and Children Protection Division (PPA) at the Grobogan Police, Ipda Yusuf Al Hakim, confirmed that the police are gathering information related to the incident. "The Grobogan Police will initiate a legal process and look for data from the respective district police stations because the case involves a minor," Yusuf said.
Yusuf also mentioned that although no official report has been filed yet, as the family has hired a lawyer, the victim’s legal representative is expected to file a report soon. The police will continue to investigate the validity of the information provided.
