A Universitas Budi Luhur (UBL) student with the initials A has officially reported her lecturer, Y (48), to Polda Metro Jaya over allegations of sexual harassment.
The report has been received and registered under number LP/B/2611/IV/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA, dated 14 April 2026. The victim reported the matter under Article 414 of the Criminal Code and/or Articles 6b and 6c of Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS).
“Indeed, we have received the report at SPKT Polda Metro Jaya,” said Head of Public Relations for Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Budi Hermanto, to reporters on Wednesday (15/4).
Budi explained that every police report will be processed in accordance with applicable legal mechanisms in a professional, objective, and transparent manner. The handling of the case, he said, will be based on evidence and prevailing legal regulations.
