        "summary": "Sixteen students from the University of Indonesia's Faculty of Law, suspected of harassing 27 individuals within the faculty, occupy key positions in campus organisations, which initially deterred victims from reporting the incidents. The abuse, which began in 2025, affected 20 female students and seven lecturers, including peers and seniors of the perpetrators, with evidence gathered from a private LINE chat group. This case underscores significant power imbalances in academic settings and the challenges victims face in coming forward against influential figures.",
        "content": "<p>Depok, Kompas.com - Sixteen students from the University of\nIndonesia\u2019s Faculty of Law (FH UI), suspected of harassing 27 people\nwithin the faculty environment, hold positions in campus\norganisations.<\/p>\n<p>The victims\u2019 legal representative, Timotius Rajagukguk, stated that\nthe perpetrators\u2019 positions on campus made the victims initially afraid\nto report the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is extremely difficult for the victims. Why? Because there are\n16 perpetrators. All of them hold positions on campus,\u201d Timotius said\nduring a press conference at the UI campus in Depok, West Java, on\nTuesday (14\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case has been occurring since 2025. The victims have known they\nwere harassed since 2025,\u201d Timotius added.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that out of the 27 victims, 20 are female students, while\nthe other seven are lecturers. All are from the FH UI environment.<\/p>\n<p>Timotius said the student victims include classmates, juniors, and\neven seniors of the perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we can all imagine how they felt since 2025 every time they\nentered the campus, every time they entered class,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey knew that at any time the perpetrators could talk about them,\nharass them in front of them, in their presence, using private chat\ngroups,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Timotius continued that the victims have been collecting evidence of\nthe alleged sexual harassment since 2025.<\/p>\n<p>One piece of evidence comes from information about a private LINE\nchat group revealed by one of the perpetrators. The perpetrator\nthemselves is a member of that chat group.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Timotius said, the chat evidence currently circulating on\nsocial media was obtained legally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI emphasise that the chat was obtained legally. There was no\npressure, no threats,\u201d Timotius stated.<\/p>\n<p>It was previously reported that 16 UI students are suspected of\ncommitting sexual harassment against female students in the faculty.<\/p>",
