MALANG - The perpetrator who molested a teenager at an orphanage in Malang, East Java, with the initials Y was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Previously, the accused of child molestation was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

"It is stated in the verdict that the perpetrator was proven to have deliberately persuaded the victim to have sexual intercourse," said Public Relations of the Malang District Court Djuanto to reporters, Thursday, December 23.

Perpetrators are also required to undergo rehabilitation at the Child Social Rehabilitation Center, Antasena, Magelang for 5 months. Djuanto said that the defendant was also sentenced to pay immaterial losses to the victim in the amount of Rp. 245 thousand.

"During this trial, the perpetrator was detained at the Lowokwaru Prison, Malang City until later this decision was signed or had permanent legal force," continued Djuanto.

Meanwhile, the verdict hearing for the beating of the orphanage girls had to be postponed. The panel of judges has not yet finalized the verdict.

“The reason is because there are new things that are taken into consideration. The criminal snares that will be imposed on the perpetrators of the beatings have yet to be found," said Djuanto.
