Playboy arrested for statutory rape

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Abdul Rachman, a 45-year-old
resident of Teluk subdistrict, was arrested on Friday after he
was caught having sex with a 15-year-old Ria.

The girl threw herself at the police in protest of the arrest.
"He is a good and tender man, why do you have to arrest him? I'm
going to marry him next month," Ria shouted.

The arrest was made following a report from Ria's mother, 35-
year-old Murtini, who said that the village playboy has duped her
of Rp 500,000 and a 15-gram gold necklace, as well as abducting
the girl.

Murtini said that, at first, she did not mind seeing Ria
become intimate with the soft-spoken man.

Later, however, she learned that not only was Abdul Rachman
already married with six children, he was also unemployed and has
for a month abandoned his family.

Ria met the man on a bus from Kebumen to Gombong town. He said
he was single and an employee of a real estate company with a
salary of Rp 1 million (US$430). (wah/swe)
