MALANG - The National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas PA) stated that it will continue to oversee the trial of the sexual violence case that occurred at the Selamat Pagi Indonesia (SPI) School, Batu City, East Java, with the defendant JE.
The chairman of Komnas PA Arist Merdeka Sirait in Malang City, East Java, Wednesday, July 6, said that his party was continuing to oversee the trial, which was held behind closed doors at the Malang District Court.
"We have to guard this case, don't let it be left alone because children can become victims of predators like the defendant JE did," Arist said as quoted by Antara.
Arist explained that Komnas PA had provided assistance to victims of sexual violence for approximately 1 year. He hopes that the judicial process can run well and provide justice to the victims.
Key Witnesses
His party regretted the existence of an expert witness who was supposed to provide protection to children victims of violence, but in the case of Batu City, SPI gave testimony to lighten the defendant's case.
"I know him (the expert witness), he is a children activist who should defend the victim, not the perpetrator. But that is the legal right of the expert witness who was brought in," he said.
In the follow-up hearing of the sexual violence case that occurred at the Selamat Pagi Indonesia School in Batu City, the defendant had the initials JE to be questioned. The trial will continue on July 20, 2022, with the agenda of reading the charges against JE.
