JAKARTA - Attorney David Ozora (17), Mellisa Anggraini believes that the two defendants who molested Mario Dandy Satriyo (20) and Shane Lukas (19) will receive severe punishment.

"I am 100 percent sure that both of them will be given severe punishments, if all are still on track (on track) namely law enforcement and judges," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 8.

Mellisa also said that during the trial, the public prosecutor should have taken sides with the victim.

Adverseness to the victim is seen from the results later, how maximal. The promise is to be given optimally. Why is it that AG's child's time is not optimal, it's because he is still a child," said Mellisa

In addition, Mellisa also assessed that by unwilling Mario Dandy's parents to pay restitution to the victim's family in this case, the prosecutor could maximize his demands.

"So we also hope that in the prosecution's demands tomorrow (Thursday), the prosecutor can be more firm in prosecuting criminal penalties other than imprisonment," he said.

Mario Dandy Satriyo and Shane Lukas will undergo trial with the agenda of reading the charges by the public prosecutor on Thursday (10/8) in the case of severe abuse against David Ozora.

Previously, the Chairperson of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) Hasto Atmojo Suroyo hoped that the panel of judges would be proactive regarding the cost of compensation or restitution to the defendant in the persecution case, Mario Dandy.

"It is possible that the defendant stated that he could not afford and so on, but we hope that the judge will also behave or think and also be proactive for the benefit of the victim," said Hasto.

He also said that Mario Dandy's restitution decision was entirely in the hands of the judge. Therefore, he asked the panel of judges who tried the case to think about the interests of the victim.

"It is in the hands of the judge. We hope the judge decides something progressive for the benefit of this victim," he said.

Hasto said Mario Dandy could be sentenced to a substitute sentence if the restitution was not paid. However, he assessed that the substitute was too light and was not commensurate with the victim's loss.
