Two former students lift the lid on alleged sexual abuse and cover-ups at Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. #BBCEye tracks down those accused and investigates how powerful institutions helped them evade justice. Subscribe to our channel: 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM In Indonesia, millions of parents send their children to Islamic boarding schools. But former students say sexual abuse can remain hidden behind the authority and influence of religious leaders. This investigation follows two women who speak publicly for the first time about their experiences as students, and examines allegations that politically influential institutions sought to silence them and protect those accused. Sukma, who graduated in December 2025 on Lombok island, near Bali, says she was abused by her headteacher. She discovers secret recordings in which he pushes students to lie and pretend all the evidence against him was made up. Wearing a hidden camera provided by the BBC, Sukma attempts to confront him. Ira, who studied in East Java, says she was sadistically abused over several years by the son of the school’s founder. He has never been charged in relation to her allegations, but was convicted of sexually abusing another student and sentenced to seven years in prison. BBC undercover reporters track him down and reveal he has been secretly released early. 🎥 Watch this documentary in Indonesian here: https://youtu.be/hop_rtjHI8g 00:00 A culture of silence: an open secret 02:03 Ira breaks her silence 09:36 Bechi: a secret early release? 12:22 Sukma comes forward 13:50 'Think of me as your father' 18:15 Silent no more: lawyer reveals cover-up 24:00 Selected for private forest meetings 26:00 Sukma finds hidden recordings 34:34 "This stops with us" 36:46 Undercover to track down Bechi 42:26 Confronting the headmaster 📽️ Watch more investigative documentaries from our award-winning BBC Eye investigations team at this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4fa8LK1lptsvoA_spfJhzda 🎧 Listen to the accompanying investigative podcast, World of Secrets: Catching My Teacher, here or wherever you get your BBC podcasts: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvs0 🎞 You may also be interested in watching these BBC Eye documentaries: https://youtu.be/yYhwEYnvdIo https://youtu.be/mNUku0jd4FA https://youtu.be/1mHEmDz8I8k https://youtu.be/vRY3nBTzzKM https://youtu.be/6-y726qvZ6Q ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.

Warning: This film includes descriptions some viewers may find distressing. A #BBCEye investigation into three K-pop stars who were sharing evidence of sexual crimes in secret chat groups. UPDATE: The BBC has removed a short section of this film on 21/05/24 as it contained a factual inaccuracy: It wrongly attributed legal advice given to victim ‘Kyung-mi’ as from a lawyer from broadcaster KBS, when in reality it was advice from a different lawyer. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM In South Korea, K-pop stars have fame, fortune and millions of female fans. But some led a double life, inhabiting a hidden world where videos of women being drugged, assaulted and humiliated were shared. This #BBCEye documentary tells the story of the female journalists who took on the task of investigating the secret chat groups of prominent K-pop stars - and paid a high personal price. ‘Molka’ is the Korean term for secretly taking explicit photos or videos without consent. It’s a crime that’s increased elevenfold in the last fifteen years in South Korea. Three friends, all successful K-pop stars, were sharing images in which unconscious women were sexually assaulted. Some of the messages contained evidence that two of the stars, Jung Joon-young and Choi Jong-hoon had subjected a woman to extreme sexual violence. Their crimes would never have been discovered had the phone data of Jung Joon-young not been leaked. The information eventually ended up in the hands of Korean journalist Kang Kyung-yoon, who began a painstaking process of verifying hundreds of explicit photos and videos. The scandal also involved a top Gangnam club, Burning Sun, where another of the friends, Big Bang star Seungri, was a DJ and CEO. Women were being drugged inside the nightclub, and sexually assaulted by men attending the club. Kang and fellow-journalist Park tell the story of their investigation and how they became the targets for exposing the stars. 00:00 Intro 02:48 What is 'molka'? 03:40 Jung Joon-young accused of molka 08:13 The data leak 10:09 Meet Choi Jong-hoon and Seungri 11:11 Global investment in the business plan 12:49 A pattern of exploitation 17:58 Gangnam nightlife and the business of assault 20:44 The cost of reporting 22:43 The VIP client experience 32:32 The 'dark fortress' - a secretive space 33:49 The red bathroom 37:37 The lawyer meets the journalists 39:54 Hara assists the investigation 42:33 The senior police contact 45:38 Accountability and arrests 47:27 More victims come forward 49:12 Women protest for further protection 50:52 Hara's personal crisis 53:58 The sentencing 55:48 The future of Sex and Power 🎥 Watch this documentary in KOREAN here: https://bbc.in/3WQVFDg and in MANDARIN here: https://bbc.in/4ayps78 🎧 Listen to the podcast series "Intrigue: Burning sun" here: https://bbc.in/4dUejQL To watch more investigative journalism from our award-winning BBC Eye team check out this documentary playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4fADt3h_U2SOWErIq-xtXPD Credits: Head of Longform - Liz Gibbons Editor BBC Investigations - Marc Perkins Executive Producers - Monica Garnsey, Mustafa Khalili, Kavita Puri Produced and Directed by - Kai Lawrence Director Of Photography - Kai Lawrence Film Editors - Kai Lawrence, Jeong-One Park, Renee Edwards BFE Narrator - Kate Fleetwood Assistant Editors: Douglas Bunnage-Flavell, Ali Turab Qazi Additional Research - Loonie Park, Shuyue Ren Original Music - Jason Luxton Lighting Cameraman - Nils Clauss Graphic Designer - Douglas McGinness Colourist - Michael Sanders Online Editor - Dominic McMahon Dubbing Mixer - Ross Millership Executive Producers, Impact - Charlotte Hayward, Vara Szajkowski Impact Producers - Baya Cat, Rajni Boddington, Alison Gee, Anusha Kumar, Bethany Rose, Emaan Warraich, Kulwant Sohal Assistant Producers - Lee-hyun Choi, Jinny Yeon, Bugyeong Jung, Sinae Hong, Kwon Moon, Keith Park, Max Kim Associate Producer - Chloe Hadjimatheou Production Executive - Nayantara Gauba Production Managers - Suzanne Luu, Jessica Butler, Dawn Macdonald, Kate Moore Production Management Assistant - Catia Da Costa Production Coordinators - Liza Hodgson, Siobhan Reed, Sameer Hussain, Shima Mashhoor Archive Sources - MBC, KBS, Yonhap News, YG Entertainment, Mnet, YTN, Voice For The People, Kukmin, Ilbo, Korean’s Women Hotline, News1, JTBC, Marie Claire Korea, Dispatch Voice Actors - Jeni Seo, Jun Noh, Taeho Kim Special thanks to - Kevin Kim, Pyo Kisik, Lee Seung-Woo ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.
