Teenager arrested for rape

TANGERANG: Angry residents in Cipondoh district, Tangerang, nabbed a 19-year-old man on Sunday evening after he was caught red-handed sexually abusing two children.

Police immediately came to the scene upon receiving a report from the neighborhood chief, and saved the man, identified as Robby, from the mob, who were threatening to burn him alive.

Cipondoh Police chief Adj. Insp. Sudaryo said that the suspect admitted that in the last month, he had raped six girls and a boy.

He said that he first asked the victims to buy him cigarettes and then took them to his house. He then showed porn movies to the children before abusing them.

Robby was often alone in the house because his parents were busy with their trading business in Jakarta.--JP
