JAKARTA - Defendant in the case of psychotropic possession, Vanessa Angel, asked the panel of judges not to separate her from her child while serving his sentence.

Vanessa Angel was previously charged with six months in prison by the Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the West Jakarta District Court.

"I hope, whatever the decision will be, I will not be separated from my child. I hope this decision will bring a little light to me and our little family, "said Vanessa in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday, October 26.

In addition, Vanessa asked for leniency on charges of punishment, because of having a three month old baby and her desire to restore the economy of her bankrupt family.

"I ask that the verdict later punish me not to go to prison and not separate me from my child.

But in order to give me a probationary sentence so that I can breastfeed my child, catch up with her language and make her a useful child in the future, ”said Vanessa.

The prosecutor found Vanessa Angel guilty of possession of psychotropic drugs in the form of 20 Xanax pills which she obtained on an expired doctor's prescription.

Vanessa violated Article 62 of Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics in conjunction with Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 49 of 2018 concerning Changes in the Classification of Psychotropics in the Appendix of Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics.
