JAKARTA, Indonesia - Police say an Indonesian toy salesman has admitted to raping at least 96 boys.

The 34-year-old man was arrested last week in the capital Jakarta after a complaint was filed by the parents of one of the alleged victims.

Police investigator Reynold Hutagalung says the suspect confessed during interrogations to raping at least 96 boys between the ages of 13 and 17 over the last two years.

Hutagalung says most of his victims were street kids found hanging out at train stations.

Hutagalung says the accused, a father of four, could face 15 years behind bars if found guilty.
