Child rights activists in Bali are demanding a police investigation into allegations that a Japanese man had sex with underage schoolgirls and sold them into prostitution.
Titik Suhariyati, the secretary of the Bali Child Protection Institute (LPA), said on Friday that the case first came to light with an allegation by a high school student in Jembrana district that she and several other young girls were paid to have sex with the man and his associates.
Titik said that in following up on the girl’s claim, the LPA had identified another schoolgirl who also claimed to have been a victim of the 47-year-old Japanese national.
She claimed that he would entice the girls to come to his rented villa in Jembrana’s Perancak village to engage in sex with himself and several other men, and in exchange pay them with cash and cellphones.
“We’re still investigating this matter and collecting more evidence,” Titik added.
