BANDARLAMPUNG - The panel of judges at the Tanjungkarang District Court, Lampung, sentenced Hafidz Mulky, a religion teacher to 10 years in prison, who was accused of molesting his student.
"Sentencing the defendant for 10 years in prison," said Chief Justice Yusnawati at the trial at the Class IA Tanjungkarang District Court, Bandarlampung, reported by Antara, Wednesday, June 15.
In addition to the sentence of imprisonment, the judge also imposed a fine of Rp. 100 million on the defendant, subsidiary to imprisonment for 6 months.
"If the defendant cannot pay the fine, it will be replaced with a prison term of 6 months," he said.
According to him, the verdict handed down to the defendant was in accordance with what the defendant had done. The verdict that has been handed down to the defendant has been increased by 1/3 because the defendant was a teacher when he committed his actions.
The defendant in this case was subject to Article 81 paragraph (1) of Law RI No. 17 of 2016 concerning Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 1 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection.
After reading the verdict of the defendant, the judge then gave the opportunity to the defendant and the Public Prosecutor (JPU) to express their attitude towards the verdict.
The defendant, who was not accompanied by legal counsel, then stated that he accepted the verdict that had been read out by the judge.
"I accept, Your Majesty," he said.
In this decision, Public Prosecutor Yetty Munira also stated that she accepted the verdict read by the Panel of Judges.
At the trial of the previous charges, the Public Prosecutor demanded a prison sentence of 12 years for the defendant and a fine of Rp. 100 million, subsidiary of 6 months in prison.
The defendant's actions began on March 7, 2022. At that time, the defendant intimidated his student by threatening to report his student's delinquency and arguing that he could be expelled from school.
The student was powerless and forced to fulfill the defendant's desire. This depraved act was again carried out by the defendant on March 10, 2022.
Unable to stand the defendant's actions, the victim then reported it to the police so that the defendant was arrested by the Bandarlampung Police.
