Man caught raping kid

JAKARTA (JP): Police are currently questioning a man over the alleged rape of a 10-year-old schoolgirl, inside a storage room of 05 Susukan Ciracas elementary school in East Jakarta, on Friday afternoon.

Ciracas Police chief Comr. Eko Waluyo identified the man as Uus, 20, who guards the storage room of the school and the victim as a resident of Ciracas.

According to the victim's testimony, she had been playing in the school backyard when Uus called her and told her to enter the storage room. The little girl became curious and entered the room," Eko told reporters.

"Little did she know, what Uus had in store for her. He pulled down her pants and raped her. During that time a schoolteacher named Yamin was passing by."

Yamin, Eko said, became suspicious upon seeing that the storage room door, which was usually open, had been closed shut.

Yamin peaked through a window and was shocked to see Uus raping the kid. Yamin got very angry, banged on the door, broke it down, and got hold of Uus," Eko said.

"Yamin started calling for help, while local residents who had quickly gathered at the scene handed the suspect over to the police." (ylt)
