DPR Says Rapists Of Female Students In Bandung Should Be Imprisoned For 20 Years And Castrated

JAKARTA - The chairman of Commission VIII of the DPR RI, Yandri Susanto, strongly condemns the actions of Herry Wirawan as the perpetrator of the rape of 12 female students in Bandung, West Java.

According to Yandri, Herry's crimes are no longer acceptable. He considered Herry worthy of a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. In addition, Herry also deserves to be castrated.

"Now the legal umbrella is 20 years in prison, a maximum of 20 years. Yes, don't reduce 19 years, 18 years, it must be 20 years. Second, the law of castration must start from this perpetrator," said Yandri in a virtual discussion on Youtube medcom id, Sunday, December 12.

Regarding the castration punishment, Yandri admitted that there were pros and cons. Moreover, regarding human rights (HAM). However, according to him, this must be done to Herry because the actions he did were very heinous.

In addition, the punishment of castration on perpetrators of rape, sexual violence, and exploitation of children can also be a deterrent effect for everyone not to do the same thing.

"It's not just women, but there are many incidents where the victims are men who are sodomized. That means we have to be serious. This is our motivation to take this issue seriously," he said.

In addition, Yandri asked law enforcement officials to publish the full name and face of Herry when processing the law on the student rape case in order to present social sanctions.

"Add social punishment. Make his face and name bright. If later he gets out of prison, people will know. Well, then the social punishment will continue," said Yandri.

For information, the case of the rape of female students began to be revealed since a report was made around May 2021 to the West Java Regional Police. After that, the report is followed up with an investigation and investigation until the case file is complete and transferred to the prosecutor's office.

From this case, it is known that a teacher committed immoral acts on 12 female students. There are even female students who are pregnant and have given birth to several children.

Herry is also the owner of one of the Islamic boarding schools in Bandung. He is now a defendant because his case file has been entered in court.
