Raped by a Genie -- Indonesia
This is one of those stories where you find yourself sitting back in your chair as you read it and shaking your head incredulous to how creative some people are when they plan to do something wrong or have been caught out having done something wrong. I guess I will never be a novelist because it had never occurred to me that one could blame their raping of a 15-year-old student under their care on a genie that had not been fed in a while.
The story goes that a principle at an Islamic Boarding School in Tangerang, Banten, West of Jakarta, raped and impregnated a 15-year-old girl under his care. The young girl had not revealed the rape to anyone, but it became increasingly difficult for her to conceal her pregnancy.
The girl, who has been identified by the initials KHF, alleges she was raped by the principal. However, the principal has supposedly said that it was not him but rather the genie that did it. The principal, who has been identified with the initials HDN, allegedly told the girl that if she had sex with him or the genie, then the genie would give her special powers. The girl claims she rejected the genie principal's advances and in her embarrassment decided against reporting the incident.
It would seem that the genie was not to be denied. A few days later the girl again found herself alone with the genie principal. However, this time she claims that she became incapacitated in the presence of the genie principal and when she later regained consciousness she was sore in places where she should not have been sore.
This is where the story gets even a little more bizarre. The girl's parents confronted the principal, as you would if your daughter had told you she had been raped by her principal. However, the principal denied that he raped the girl, but apparently confessed to the parents that it was his pet genie that did it. And, that the genie probably did it because he had not been fed in a few months. But what is really weird is that the principal agreed to a DNA test and is seemingly pretty confident that the DNA results will prove that he did not do it and that the genie did.
Nah, if my understanding is correct then the genie sort of appears and takes over the body of the host and then has his way with the girl. If this is the case then I am thinking that perhaps the DNA of the host rather than the genie is likely to turn up in any subsequent DNA test. Then again, I am no scientist, so I do not know for sure how these things work.
I am wondering whether this is a confession that there have been other girls who have fallen victim to the hungry genie in times previous to this account.
Nevertheless, it seems that the principal has realized that the allegation of rape of a minor is a little more serious than he envisaged at first and he is now backing away from the genie claim. The principal is now suggesting that the young girl is pregnant to her boyfriend and in her embarrassment and shame on that front she is seeking to blame the principal for her troubles.
The Indonesian Legal Aid and Human Rights Association (Perhimpunan Bantuan Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Indonesia / PBHI) has taken up the case, and they have reported the alleged crime to the Indonesian police who are now reportedly investigating the claims. Perhaps they need to get a psych report done on the alleged perpetrator who seemingly thinks he is harbouring a genie or two.
Another interesting twist in this story is that the principal's family are now claiming that it is impossible for him to impregnate the young girl because he is a diabetic with extremely high blood sugar levels. And, the family claims, that it is a medical fact that diabetics cannot get erections. The family does not seem to be entertaining the idea that the genie did it either. But there have been no reports as to whether the genie is diabetic as well.
Apparently the DNA tests have been done and when the results come back from the lab, then it is expected that the families of the girl and the principal will have a clearer picture of what transpired or did not transpire. As will the police and just about everyone else following this story.

Rob,
The story reminds of a famous ulama in Jakarta who married a woman by SIRI and spent the night together at a hotel, and divorced her with Talak 3 the next morning.
Men who claimed themselves fanatics tend to take advantage of others.
Harry...
reminds me of a few stories that I have heard during my time in Indonesia. Similar stories pervade most cultures at some point or another, so the idea of being possessed is not necessarily a new phenomena or one that is unique to Indonesia.
I so not think that this is a story of fanatics or religion. I think this is a simple case of the principal thinking he was going to get away with it. Then, he seems to have thought that the girl's parents were too kampungan or not educated enough that they would by into the djinn story.
Finally, there seems to have been a realization that no one seems to be buying into the djinn story and therefore he has changed tack.
It would be worth watching the case to see how it develops. The DNA will be a sealer for paternity. But, even if the DNA was to prove that the principal was not the father of the baby (this I would argue does not mean that the djinn becomes the father by default) this would still not be sufficient to prove that the rape did not take place.
In the absence of DNA evidence proving the principal fathered the baby, then the case comes back to a he said, she said scenario. Unless of course there can be some sort of pattern established that this particular individual is a serial sexual predator.
