The panel of judges at the Banda Aceh Sharia Court sentenced a father to commit a criminal act of forced assault or rape of his biological child with a sentence of 200 months in prison.
The verdict was read out by the panel of judges chaired by Rokhmadi during a trial at the Banda Aceh Sharia Court in Banda Aceh, which was attended by the Banda Aceh District Prosecutor's Office, Luthfan Al Kamil, and the defendant Abdullah (55), who was accompanied by his legal adviser.
The panel of judges in their decision stated that the defendant was legally and convincingly proven guilty of raping a person who had a mahram relationship. The victim is the biological child of the defendant who is still a minor.
The defendant's actions, said the panel of judges, were as regulated and threatened with criminal sanctions in Article 49 of Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law.
Based on the facts at the trial, the defendant committed a criminal act of rape of his biological child at their home in Banda Aceh City from December 2022 to February 2025.
"The victim was still in the third grade of junior high school. The victim received treatment from the defendant under threat. This case was revealed after the victim told his family," said the panel of judges as reported by ANTARA, Monday, October 6.
