Judge, Prosecutor Asks Herry Wirawan To Rape Dozens Of Santriwanti Also Castrated

JAKARTA - Prosecutors not only demanded the maximum sentence -- the death penalty -- for the accused in the rape case against 13 female students, Herry Wirawan (36). But there are a number of additional criminal charges, namely castration.

This claim was made by the prosecutor from the West Java High Court (Kejati). West Java Head of Office, Asep N Mulyana, had to demand the death penalty for Herry Wirawan because his heinous act had even resulted in the pregnancy of a number of victims.

"We first charge the defendant with the death penalty. As evidence, as our commitment to provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators," Asep said at the Bandung District Court, Bandung City, West Java, Tuesday, January 11.

So in addition to the maximum demands, the prosecutor also gave a number of additional demands for punishment to the defendants who carried out this dishonorable act.

Herry was demanded by the prosecutor to pay a fine of Rp. 500 million, and also to pay restitution to the victims of Rp. 331 million.

"We also ask the judge to impose additional penalties in the form of identity announcements, distribution of the identities of the accused, and additional prosecution in the form of chemical castration," said Asep.

According to him, the consideration of the death penalty was given because Herry's crime was committed against his foster children when he had the position or power as the owner of the Islamic boarding school.

"The defendant's actions not only affect the physical honor, but also affect the psychology and emotions of the students as a whole," he said.

And what according to him is the hardest, is that Herry uses religious and educational symbols to carry out his actions.

"The president has also paid attention to the defendant's crimes," he said.
