Depok Mayor Concerned Over Teacher Offering Prostitution Services
Depok Mayor Supian Suri is concerned about the viral news of a madrasah tsanawiyah (MTs) teacher in Kedaung Ward, Sawangan Subdistrict, offering prostitution services in the South Tangerang area.
Supian has instructed all relevant agencies, including the Health Department, to check the school and ensure there are no victims, particularly schoolchildren from that teacher.
“The second step is to ensure regarding the family, because we are worried about the story conveyed, worried about diseases that could be transmitted, so we are also ensuring with the family side,” said Supian on Monday, 30 March 2026.
Supian emphasised that the government is moving quickly by sending relevant agencies to the MTs in Kedaung today.
“And what we are doing today is going to the field, all of it. Coordination with Kemenag (Ministry of Religious Affairs) because education is under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Yes, I am also concerned,” said Supian.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Depok City Education Department, Wahid Suryono, stated that they have immediately coordinated with the relevant vertical agency, in this case Kemenag.
“In principle, they are open,” said Wahid.
Wahid emphasised that they are moving quickly to handle the case by preparing the necessary steps. However, the current priority is to save students or children from possible HIV exposure.
“Our focus is there, on the victims. Hopefully there are none, we hope there are none, and the Health Department team, DP3AP2KB, today will coordinate with Kemenag and the school for further mitigation,” said Wahid.
The Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) side claims to have clarified with IK, the teacher offering prostitution services. The perpetrator admitted the motive was economic needs.
A representative of the foundation and MTs, Jarkasih, revealed that they had met with IK on Sunday, 29 March 2026, to convey the deactivation of the perpetrator as a teacher and operator.
“When I asked the motive, it was none other than due to economic or financial needs,” said Jarkasih when met on Monday, 30 March 2026.
