Meanwhile, Tri Purwanto, Head of the Women and Children Protection Agency (UPTD PPA) in South Tangerang, confirmed the report involving a student with autism who is believed to have been sexually assaulted. He stated that the agency has been actively supporting the victim.
“We’ve carried out all of our duties. Most recently, we conducted a psychological evaluation of the victim, and we’ve already submitted the results to the police,” Tri confirmed.
This case has drawn strong public attention, particularly because it involves a vulnerable child. Authorities are urging the public to allow the investigation to proceed fairly and to offer support to the victim and their family during this difficult time.
