Therefore, MUI\nurges the public to be more selective when choosing religious\neducational institutions.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the incident serves as a lesson for educational\ninstitutions and families to strengthen oversight.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Selecting teaching staff and establishing safe reporting mechanisms\nfor students,\u2019 Gus Fahrur said.<\/p>\n<p>It has been reported that six alumni of Padepokan Padang Ati in\nBuaran District, Pekalongan Regency, have filed reports alleging\nmolestation by AKF (55), the school\u2019s caretaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Those who reported are now adults. The incidents happened several\nyears ago, after they graduated,\u2019 Fatkhur said in a phone call on\nThursday (28 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He did not know the exact ages of the victims, but they were\nestimated to be in junior high or senior high school when the alleged\nabuse occurred.<\/p>\n<p>AKF has been named a suspect and detained by Pekalongan City Police\nsince Wednesday (27 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Pekalongan City Police Chief AKBP Riki Yariandi stated that the\nalleged molestation of female students is believed to have started as\nearly as 2008.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation has taken a long time because the victims were\npreviously under pressure and fear, making them reluctant to report to\npolice authorities.<\/p>",
