        "summary": "The case of alleged verbal sexual harassment by 16 students from the University of Indonesia's Faculty of Law originated from a leaked LINE group chat, revealed by one of the perpetrators to the victims in 2025. Despite initial knowledge of the offensive content, the victims hesitated to report it immediately, gathering more evidence in hopes the behaviour would cease, but ultimately pursued action after receiving the full conversation details. This revelation highlights the internal dynamics that can lead to the exposure of misconduct within academic circles, potentially influencing campus safety policies and legal proceedings.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 The origins of the alleged verbal sexual\nharassment case involving 16 students from the University of Indonesia\u2019s\nFaculty of Law (UI) through a group chat have finally been revealed. The\ncase began with the leak of a LINE social media group chat comprising\nthe 16 suspected perpetrators. One of the group members, who was also a\nperpetrator, leaked the information to the victims. \u201cInitially, one of\nthe group members, for certain reasons, ended up leaking that\ninformation to the victims,\u201d said the victims\u2019 legal representative,\nTimotius Rajagukguk, when met at the UI campus in Depok, West Java, on\nTuesday (14\/4\/2026). However, he did not explain in detail the reasons\nbehind the action. \u201cThere was a situation that ultimately forced him to\ndo it,\u201d he said. The information about the group chat and its contents\nwas first leaked in 2025, although it was not detailed at the time. With\nthe leak of this information, the victims had actually known since 2025\nthat they were the objects of the alleged sexual harassment. \u201cThat\u2019s why\nwhen they saw it, they felt hurt, sad, heartbroken, ashamed, and so on,\u201d\nsaid Timotius. \u201cBut even if they wanted to report it at that time, they\nwould surely think, \u2018Is this one chat enough for us to report?\u2019\u201d he\nexplained. Timotius revealed that the victims initially held back\ndespite knowing about it. They hoped the perpetrators\u2019 actions would not\ncontinue. The victims then began collecting the available evidence. In\nthe end, the perpetrator leaked the full content of the group\nconversation to the victims. The evidence was then examined together by\nthe victims and their legal representative.<\/p>",
