Police hunt for men who coerced 12-year-old girl into sex work The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Acting on a report issued Wednesday by the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak), city police are hunting down two men who allegedly coerced a child into performing sex work. Police have identified the suspects only as SN and DD, crime unit chief Sr.Comr. M. Jaelani said Friday. On March 6, SN -- who is from Indramayu, West Java -- offered a 12-year-old girl a job as a restaurant attendant in Jakarta with a monthly salary of Rp 300,000. Accompanied by her mother, the girl and SN went to the capital the next day. They two stayed for a week in a rented house in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, while waiting for SN to take the girl to her new workplace. On March 14, the suspect together with a companion, DD, escorted the young girl to work, while her mother waited at the house. After waiting for a whole day, however, SN returned without the girl and handed the mother Rp 1.4 million in payment, which aroused the mother's suspicions. After demanding to see her daughter, she was taken by DD to meet the girl, who was in a room in a West Jakarta hotel. The hotel management helped her to locate her daughter's room and to contact Komnas Anak. The rights body provided legal assistance for the child and a safe house. A medical examination showed signs of physical trauma, confirming she was sexually abused. Witnesses told the police the girl had been in the hotel room with a foreigner. Police are tracking down the foreigner. According to Jaelani, the suspects violated the Criminal Code and Children Rights Protection Law. They could face a maximum sentence of 10 years' jail and a Rp 200 million fine if found guilty. Many activists are outraged by state laws on child trafficking and prostitution, comparing them with the U.S. laws, which impose heavier punishments. ------------------------ Yahoo!
