Diary Reveals Father's Repeated Rape of Daughter in Grobogan

A teenager in Grobogan, Central Java, was raped by her biological father over ten consecutive days. The victim’s lawyer said the case came to light after the girl accidentally handed in her diary, which was then read by staff at the Islamic boarding school (ponpes) where she was staying.

The victim’s legal counsel, Yunita Ratna Triastuti, said the diary was inadvertently read by a teacher at the boarding school, who immediately reported the matter to the victim’s mother.

“The victim accidentally submitted her diary along with her class exercise book. It was then read by the boarding school staff,” said Yunita, as quoted by detikJateng on Tuesday (21/7/2026).

The diary contained accounts of the rapes the victim had endured. The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit at Grobogan Police, AKP Rizky Ari Budianto, confirmed that the boarding school would also be summoned for questioning.

“That’s correct,” said Rizky.

The Head of the Women and Children Protection Unit at Grobogan Police Criminal Investigation Division, Iptu Cesara Rinda Ahadirohman, also confirmed the existence of the book containing the victim’s account of being raped. She said the book has since been discarded.

“The book has been thrown away, she said. That is indeed true, and the boarding school has confirmed it as well,” said Cesara.
