Man accused of kidnaping teen

JAKARTA (JP): A businessman accused of kidnaping a teenage
model has been forced to seek protection from the military police
following threats by the teenager's mother.

Siddi Sidarma Moersid said here on Wednesday that the teenage
girl's mother had asked some military police officers to threaten
him. Due to the woman's report that he had kidnapped her
daughter, his house in Bogor was searched by the local police.

He denied allegations that he had kidnapped seventeen-year-old
Novi Sabrina and said the girl was trying to escape from her
house because she did not get along with her parents, Antara news
agency reported.

In the dossiers signed by Sabrina at the North Jakarta
district police station, she claimed that her mother constantly
forced her to seduce men in an effort to get money.

Siddi's lawyer, Heru, said his client was a target of
blackmail by Sabrina's mother. "We have filed a complaint with
the Bogor military police regarding this matter," the lawyer
said. (06)
