Jakarta, VIVA – A video of a female patient’s confession, who is suspected of being a victim of sexual harassment while undergoing treatment at Martapura Regional Hospital (RSUD Martapura), East Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency, South Sumatra, has gone viral on social media.

Victim Says She Was Powerless When the Alleged Harassment Occurred

In the circulating video, the victim said the alleged harassment occurred when she had no strength to resist because she was still recovering.

According to her account, the man allegedly groped her breast before carrying out other indecent acts.

“He groped my breast, then he unzipped his trousers and pulled my hand to touch his genitals,” the victim said in the video.

The victim said she could only resign herself to it as her health condition at the time was still very weak due to undergoing medical treatment.
