JAKARTA - Bandung Mayor Oded M Danial was shocked to hear of cases of immoral acts committed by unscrupulous teachers against 12 female students at a boarding school in Bandung. He hopes the court can give an appropriate verdict.
"I was shocked to hear the news. Hopefully the panel of judges can give a verdict that gives a sense of justice to the rape victims and their families," said Oded in Bandung, West Java, Thursday, December 9, quoted from Antara.
According to him, a teacher must be a role model for his students, especially a religious teacher.
"Religious teachers must also be in charge of maintaining morals, not destroying them," he said again.
The teacher now has the status of a defendant because the case file has been entered in court. The Prosecutor's Office said that the defendant had carried out this action from 2016 until early 2021. He is also a teacher and owner of one of the Islamic boarding schools in Bandung City.
Acting Assistant for General Crimes at the West Java Prosecutor's Office, Riyono, said that HW is now a defendant because he has already undergone a trial. The defendant was charged with Article 81 of the Child Protection Law.
"The threat is 15 years, but it needs to be underlined that there is a weight there because as an educator, the threat is 20 years," said Riyono.
Kasipenkum Kejati West Java, Dodi Gazali, added that the immoral acts of unscrupulous teachers were carried out in various places, from Islamic boarding schools to several hotels and apartments. HW is suspected of using coercion with threats of violence and allegedly giving a number of lures to the victims.
