Man arrested for raping deaf-mute

TANGERANG: Curug subprecinct police arrested a man for
allegedly raping a deaf and mute woman on a soccer field in
Cibundar village, Curug, late on Thursday.

Police chief Insp. I Ketut Sudarsana said the 42-year-old
suspect attacked the 36-year-old woman, who was passing near the
soccer field, and raped her.

The victim, who could not speak, later told her relatives in
sign language that she had been raped.

The relatives took her back to the soccer field, but before
arriving there the woman identified the suspect, who was sitting
at a security post with friends.

"The suspect said he raped the woman because the last time he
had sex was four years ago," Sudarsana said. -- JP
