Sex orgy scandal rocks religious regency of Cianjur

Police are questioning several teachers and students believed to
have been involved in an orgy at a Cianjur school that has
stunned people in the regency. The police embarked on an
investigation into the case after reports in local media on
Sunday over the scandal, said Adj. Comr. Wardoli, Cianjur Police
chief of detectives.

The scandal was made public after a teacher reported to the
media that 11 students and a teacher were expelled from the
senior high school after they were found to have involved in an
orgy in a classroom. Some students were reported to have kissed
each other and had oral sex in the classroom. As the story went
to press, many Cianjur residents rushed to search for a video
compact disc of the event, but to no avail. The event, however,
was reported to have been recorded with a camera phone.

The case has tarnished Cianjur's image, a poor regency of some
two million people. The regency is known for its devout Muslims
and has even imposed sharia. Its regent Wasidi Swastomo even
proclaimed on March 26, 2001 that he would prioritize moral
development in the Cianjur development plan.

But, Aan Suwandi, principal of Cianjur II senior high school,
asserted that only two students were involved in the scandal, a
male and a female student and they have been expelled from the
school. The other nine students and a teacher were expelled for a
different reason.

"We hope that the case will not be blown out of proportion,"
said Aan.

Other sources with the school said a teacher who was also a
school counsellor summoned two students, Im and Yn, after they
were caught smoking in a classroom.

As the two young girls were reprimanded and labeled slutty by
the teacher, they yelled back at the teacher and revealed that
many more students in the school had been involved in
prostitution. The two students revealed that not only the
students, but a teacher with the school had also been involved in
prostitution. The two students even acknowledged they had had sex
with teacher Dd in Cipanas tourist resort here, but Dd never paid
them although he had promised to. Stunned by their account, the
school launched an investigation into the case and questioned
teacher Dd, the two female students and other students who
reportedly were working as freelance sex workers.

They were all expelled after they admitted their wrongdoing.

Yn admitted to the media later on Sunday that she had kissed
and had oral sex inside the classroom and the scene was recorded
through a camera phone. But, she quickly added that it had been
erased from the camera phone and therefore it was not possible
the scene could have been circulated in VCD form. Yn, who is five
months pregnant, has married her boyfriend while other students
are reportedly applying for other schools.

Dani, a Cianjur resident, blamed consumerism for the rampant
prostitution among senior high school students in Cianjur.

"Cianjur has been called a religious regency, but who can
guarantee that religious education can overcome the growing
consumerism among school students, promoted by television?" he
said.

Although the students live in a remote regency, they are keen
to possess cell phones, cosmetics and enjoy the good life like
fellow teenagers in cities such as Jakarta and Bandung, said
Dani.
