Woman Denies Rape Allegations, Accuses Ex-Husband of Fabrication
A Solo, Indonesia woman, Arimbi, has vehemently denied allegations made by her ex-husband, Yudi, during a recent testimony before Indonesia’s House of representatives Commission III. Yudi claimed a seven-year-old rape case involving Arimbi had been stalled. Arimbi counters that the entire case, including allegations of rape and child abuse, was a complete fabrication orchestrated by her ex-husband.
In a video statement released to journalists on December 28,2024,Arimbi stated, “(The rape) didn’t happen at all,so I was forced to give a false report to the police,even though nothing had ever happened to me or my child. Including harassment also never happened.”
Arimbi further alleges that Yudi manipulated their child, pressuring the minor into falsely admitting to being a victim of sodomy. ”For 7 years my child has felt intimidated, manipulated, by his father, he had to admit that he was the child of a sodomy victim,” she added.
According to Arimbi, she was coerced into filing the false police report in 2017 under duress, fearing for her safety.She claims Yudi’s motive was to settle a score with another man, identified only as “D,” driven by jealousy. “So I was forced to make a false report, I was intimidated as Y did it to catch D so he could be detained and he was venting his jealousy, like that,” she explained.
Arimbi admitted to previously lying to Yudi about being assaulted by “D,” a lie she attributes to the pressure and intimidation she faced from her ex-husband. The case highlights the complexities of domestic violence and the potential for manipulation within legal proceedings.
This case raises concerns about the potential for false accusations and the importance of thorough investigations in cases involving domestic disputes.While the specifics of this case are unique to Indonesia, the underlying issues of domestic abuse and the manipulation of legal systems resonate globally, underscoring the need for robust protections for victims and a careful approach to investigating such claims.
Woman Recants Rape Allegation, Claims Ex-Husband’s Jealousy
A woman from Solo, Indonesia, has publicly retracted a seven-year-old rape allegation, claiming she falsely reported the incident to protect herself from her then-husband. Her statement directly contradicts testimony given by her ex-husband, Yudi, before Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI).
Arimbi,whose full name has not been publicly released,explained that her false report stemmed from fear and a desperate attempt to ensure her safety during a period of alleged captivity. “So it was just my ex-husband’s jealousy towards D and he thought – because I once confessed that I was raped – he thought I was lying because I turned around and didn’t admit to being raped,” she stated. ”In fact, I confessed that I was raped only for my own safety. At that time I was held captive for three days and I probably don’t know whether I would have lived or not if I had not been helped by the Police,” she added.
Arimbi’s retraction throws into question Yudi’s testimony before the DPR RI. He had previously claimed the rape case had been stalled for seven years.Though, Arimbi clarified that she personally withdrew the report in 2017, stating, “One time when Y was careless, I had the prospect to tell the police that these reports were all fake reports.” She emphasized that there was “no element of coercion” in her decision to retract the statement.
The case highlights the complexities surrounding domestic violence and false reporting,particularly in situations where victims may feel pressured to make false statements to protect themselves. Experts in the U.S. have noted similar patterns where victims of domestic abuse may make false reports due to fear of retaliation or lack of trust in the legal system. This case underscores the need for complete support systems for victims of domestic violence and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding false reporting.
Arimbi’s request to clarify her statement to Commission III of the DPR RI underscores the ongoing investigation into this matter. The implications of this case extend beyond the immediate parties involved, raising questions about the accuracy of testimony before legislative bodies and the challenges faced by victims of domestic abuse.
