Bali Health Clinic Worker Named Suspect in Alleged Abuse of Cousin

Police in Karangasem, Bali, named a clinic worker as a suspect in alleged sexual abuse of his cousin.

Police say the alleged abuse happened as many as 62 times, beginning when the woman was 9; she is now 26.

The suspect allegedly used money, pressure and threats to make her comply, including threats to share intimate photos and videos.

The family learned of the matter in 2023 and tried to resolve it through mediation, but police say the alleged pressure continued afterward.

The woman reported the case to police in August 2026 after deciding she could no longer endure the situation.

Police have identified the man as a suspect; no further steps in the case are described.
