Indonesian child protection boss is ridiculed after claiming women can fall pregnant in swimming pools 'even without penetration' if men with 'strong sperm' ejaculate in the water
Women can fall pregnant in swimming pools 'even without penetration' if men with 'strong sperm' ejaculate into the water, an Indonesian child protection boss has claimed.
Sitti Hikmawatty, the comissioner for health, narcotics and addictive substances at the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), made the extraordinary claims in an interview with the Tribun Jakarta last week.
Ms Hikmawatty - whose surname translates as 'wisdom' - has apologised for her comments, saying they were made in a 'personal capacity', after she faced backlash on social media.
Doctors in Indonesia have said it would be impossible for women to get impregnated in this way.
