Italian accused of molestation<\/p>\n
DENPASAR, Bali (JP): An Italian national suspected of sexually
\nmolesting eight minors will remain in police custody despite the
\nfact that his visa expires on Saturday, a high-ranking police
\nofficial said.<\/p>\n
Buleleng Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. HM Syafei said on
\nThursday evening that the 67-year-old man, identified only as
\n\"Mar\", was the prime suspect in the crime. \"There are no reasons
\nto release him until the investigation and all legal proceedings
\nare completed.\"<\/p>\n
The suspect was arrested last Monday after Buleleng Police
\nreceived reports from parents that their children had been
\nallegedly molested.<\/p>\n
Buleleng is some 100 kilometers north of Denpasar.<\/p>\n
The victims, two 15 year olds and two 12 year olds, are all
\nstreet vendors in Buleleng, the prime tourist area of Lovina.<\/p>\n
The parents said that the suspect had forced their children to
\nperform oral sex on him. The youths later confirmed their
\nparents' reports.<\/p>\n
The victims said the man had lured each of them to his hotel
\nroom with the promise of paying Rp 30,000 and then forced them to
\nperform oral sex.<\/p>\n
\"When I refused to do so he threatened (to beat) me. After he
\nfinished he asked me to introduce him to my other friends,\" a
\nvictim said.<\/p>\n
Bali Governor Dewa Beratha has asked the police to thoroughly
\ninvestigate the case and to ensure that he is prosecuted to the
\nfull extent of the law. (zen)<\/p>",
