Evi Mariani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
A 24-year-old single man hired by parents to drive their children
\nto kindergarten in Bintaro, South Jakarta, and back home again
\nhas been arrested for indecent exposure, a police officer
\nrevealed on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\"We arrested the suspect, identified as Wartim, two days ago
\nat his house in Bintaro,\" Jakarta Police chief of detectives Sr.
\nComr. Mathius Salempang said.<\/p>\n
The case came to light after one of the victims, a boy,
\nrefused to join his classmates in the minivan driven by Wartim.<\/p>\n
His mother had been trying for weeks to make the boy tell her
\nthe reason, but he had refused.<\/p>\n
The mother finally asked a neighbor whose daughter was also in
\nthe car pool whether the girl knew anything.<\/p>\n
It came as a shock to both mothers when the girl told them
\nwhat had happened inside the minivan when only her, the boy and
\nthe driver were on board.<\/p>\n
Both mothers immediately reported the case to the police early
\nthis month, but the police first had to collect the victims' and
\nwitnesses' statements before laying charges and arresting the
\nsuspect.<\/p>\n
From October last year through February, Wartim reportedly
\nexposed himself to the two children, who were the last two to be
\ndropped off at home. And one stage he allegedly told the girl to
\ntouch his penis.<\/p>\n
\"The children also said that Wartim showed them pornographic
\npictures from adult magazines twice,\" Salempang said.<\/p>\n
Police will charge him under Law No. 23\/2003 on child
\nprotection, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in
\nprison, and under Article 290 of the Criminal Code on harassing
\nminors, which carries a maximum seven-year prison term.<\/p>",
