Harassment questioning continues<\/p>\n
Theresia Sufa, The Jakarta Post\/Bogor<\/p>\n
Internal affairs officers from the West Java Police are
\ncontinuing their investigation into a sexual harassment complaint
\nagainst Bogor Police chief Sr. Comr. Tjiptono and several of his
\nsubordinates.<\/p>\n
\"Please, do not jump to conclusions and accuse the Bogor
\nPolice chief of (committing the crime). We are still
\ninvestigating,\" West Java Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Muryan
\nFaisal told The Jakarta Post on Friday.<\/p>\n
The case surfaced after a text message accusing Tjiptono of
\nsexually harassing his secretaries began circulating among
\nresidents in Bogor, including journalists and police officers.<\/p>\n
\"Only if this allegation is proven to be true will the police
\nchief be taken in for questioning,\" Muryan said.<\/p>\n
One of Tjiptono's secretaries, Chief Brig. Ety Rosita, has
\ndenied ever being sexually harassed by Tjiptono.<\/p>\n
\"It is not true. I have only been his secretary for two weeks,
\nbut he never treated me like that. Mean rumors like that could
\ndestroy my reputation and my family,\" she said, adding that her
\nhusband works at National Police Headquarters.<\/p>\n
Tjiptono, a former spokesman for the Jakarta Police, was
\ninstalled as Bogor Police chief last month, replacing Sr. Comr.
\nBambang Wasgito, who was removed from the post after assaulting
\nseveral of his subordinates.<\/p>",
