MALUKU - The public prosecutor (JPU) has demanded Fredy Amanupunyo, a deaf and deaf 71-year-old grandfather (bisu) for eight years in prison in the rape case of a 10-year-old boy.

The prosecutor's demands were delivered in a trial led by the chairman of the Ambon District Court (PN) panel Agus Tjahyo Mahendra.

Sentenced to imprisonment for eight years minus the period of arrest and detention that has been served and a fine of Rp. 1 billion, subsidiary to four months in prison.

"What burdens the defendant is that he is sentenced to eight years in prison and a fine of Rp. 1 billion because his actions have damaged the victim's future," said the prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the mitigating thing is that the defendant is polite and admits all his actions, is elderly, the defendant regrets his actions and promises not to repeat them.

The defendant's lecherous actions against the victim were carried out on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at around 10:00 WIT around the cloudy forest in the Passo area, Baguala District, Ambon City.

The action taken by the defendant was to pull the victim's hand from his house to the scene of the case and to have forced intercourse.

The panel of judges postponed the trial until next week with the agenda of hearing the defendant's defense through his legal adviser Dino Huliselan from the Maluku Humanum Institute.
