Police are investigating the escape of the 15-year-old girl, who allegedly admitted to having a sexual relationship with her 26-year-old taekwondo teacher in east Jakarta. The girl, Tn, who comes from a community that only uses one name, left home to live with her teacher, Sj, for a month.
The girl's father called in the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak) to "cure" his daughter's sexual orientation and agreed to place her in protective custody. Sj found out where Tn was being detained and was able to break her out on September 17, the first day of the Idul Fitri religious celebrations.
"The security officers were negligent because they did not know that somebody was taking a child away," Komnas Anak chairman Arist Merdeka Sirait explained. Mr Arist said that Tn had admitted to a sexual relationship with Sj. Police are investigating, but it is not clear whether Sj can be charged with any offence.
