Chronology

The beginning of the disclosure of this case was when the owner of the tweets account @listongs was busy speaking for netizens. In his tweet, he described his experience of being harassed and blackmailed by an unscrupulous quick test service provider. The woman who owns the account has the initials LHI.

According to LHI, the incident occurred on September 13 when he was about to fly from Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport to Nias in North Sumatra.

“My flight was at 6 (in the morning), I didn’t have time to go to the hospital (hospital). So I was at the airport at 4 am, and I wanted a quick test at the airport,” he told Kompas.com , on Friday (9/18/2020) night.

LHI then conducted a rapid test at Soekarno-Hatta Airport Terminal 3, at the rapid testing facility owned by Kimia Farma.

After running the quick test, LHI said the examining officer unexpectedly committed sexual harassment.

Initially, the officer said the results of the LHI rapid test were reactive.

“Well, I thought about not going to Nias because I was afraid of broadcasting to people in Nias,” he said.

However, the male officer suggested that the LHI retest and guaranteed that it would give a non-reactive result on the second test.

The victim is confused because he feels something is wrong, but then follows the suggestion.

After LHI received the rapid test results with non-reactive results and was about to make his way to the departure location, the alleged perpetrator apparently chased and approached him.

The officer, LHI said, asked for an amount of money for the non-reactive statement he issued. The victim also felt blackmailed by the perpetrator.

“People call, then talk asking for money,” he said.

As they didn’t want to get complicated that morning, LHI then transferred Rp. 1.4 million via her cell phone to the suspect’s personal account.

After that, unexpectedly, the man committed sexual violence by kissing the victim and patting her chest. This left the victim shocked and traumatized.

“I cried. I was surprised,” he said.

The airport was still quiet at the time. The time was still around 04.00 WIB. The victim who is in shock feels unable to defend himself or screams for help.

After arriving in Nias, LHI reported what happened to the local police. However, the local police suggested informing the police where the incident took place.

“I also called my friend who is the police,” he said.

Experiencing trauma

As a result of this incident, LHI was traumatized. He couldn’t bear to see men he didn’t know out of fear.

“So far I am traumatized,” LHI said.

In fact, when he saw many male taxi drivers, he immediately imagined the harassment he experienced.

“It’s normal when a lot of men offer taxis at the airport, and I immediately remember the incident. I immediately went back to the bathroom and cried. So much so that the taxi drivers offered me (taxi services). I actually remember it,” he said.

Even so, in the midst of the trauma, there were still many of his closest friends who provided support so that he could immediately escape the trauma.

“The people closest to me, especially my girlfriend,” he said.

Police said they had not received the report.

The Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police have not received a report about the criminal act of sexual harassment and extortion at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police Commissioner Criminal Investigation Unit Chief Alexander Yurikho said there had been no official reports as of Friday (9/18/2020).

“No one has officially reported it to the Soekarno-Hatta airport police,” he said.

Alex asked the owner of the Twitter account that wrote the sexual violence and extortion thread at Soekarno-Hatta Airport to make an official report.

“Investigators from the Soetta Airport Police Criminal Unit are still making progress in the investigation stage, at least initially we asked the account owner to make an official report,” Alex said.

Alex also explained that he would carry out a CCTV check to verify if the crime actually occurred.

LHI itself intends to report the incident to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police so that there are no more victims of violence at the airport.

She also hopes solo female travelers to be cautious and immediately seek safety if there are suspicious signs from the people around them.
