Sex Tape Circulated Online, High School Student Attempts Suicide

jpnn.com, LAMPUNG UTARA - Residents of North Lampung were shocked by a viral video of a high school student wearing a school uniform, trying to commit suicide by jumping off the Way Batanghari Bridge.

This suicide attempt occurred on Tuesday afternoon (30/11), around 01.35 p.m.

It was suspected that the girl was frustrated after her sex tape was being spread online by someone she knew.

Firza (42), a local resident, said that passers-by persuaded the victim not to commit suicide.

"That high school kid wanted to jump off the bridge. Fortunately, there were military personnel, who immediately caught the victim and prevented her from jumping off," Firza said.

"As she was about to jump, she screamed hysterically. She said she just wanted to kill herself and that life had no meaning anymore. That's what came out of the student's mouth."

In the circulating video, it appears that the victim was calmed down by some residents and military members who were at the scene. The girl then burst into tears after being rescued. 

The military personnel took the girl to the Ryacudu Kotabumi General Hospital.
