Rahmat Wibowo read out Steven Nataniel Kodyat's reply to his somasi on YouTube, answering it line by line, calling him a 'coward' and a 'hypocrite', saying he had 'dug his own grave', and mocking him as 'Pel' who 'can only mop floors in prison'

Commentary

He published it on YouTube on 11 August 2026. Minute links open the video at that point.

  • A private reply, answered in public. He reads out, on screen, the letter Steven Nataniel Kodyat sent in reply to his somasi, which says Rahmat began contacting him repeatedly in March without any trigger, and answers it line by line: “you’re a coward”, “you’re a hypocrite” (minute 0–4). When the letter says Rahmat contacted Steven’s employer, he replies “why not tell your boss, that’s right” (minute 5).
  • “Can only mop floors in prison.” He then reads his own nearly 50-page “plea and proof of mens rea”, in which Steven’s word “sarcasm” is again the proof of intent, and tells him “you’ve dug your own grave” (minute 7–13). He ends mocking him as “Pel” who “can only mop floors in prison” (minute 18–19). He had made Steven’s reply a YouTube “study case” in July.
