SURABAYA - Head of the East Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kajati), Mia Amiati, confirmed that Julianto Eka Putra alias JE, the defendant in the sexual abuse case against a student at the Indonesian Good Morning School (SPI), Batu City, East Java, would be severely prosecuted. In addition, JE will also be required to compensate the victims.
"We have a conclusion and believe that the fault of the defendant is Julianto," said Mia, in Surabaya, Tuesday, July 19.
Mia said that the hearing with the agenda of reading out the allegations of the obscenity case would be held at the Batu City District Court (PN), on Wednesday, July 20.
Mia admitted that she had been to Batu City to consult with the prosecutor, so that the defendant was severely prosecuted.
"Earlier, we have come to Batu and have consulted on the proposed prosecution by the public prosecutor. So at the trial stage, we will only have to read out the demands," he said.
Based on the facts of the trial, continued Mia, there were nine victims in this case, but only one was a reporting witness. According to him, the SPI condition is the same as the case of alleged sexual abuse of the child of a Jombang kiai, in which there were five victim witnesses, but only one reporter.
Mia said in the trial there were 20 witnesses including forensics, psychologists, and criminals.
"Friends of the Public Prosecutor's Office believe that Julianto's sexual intercourse was carried out by means of deceit, in the form of giving motivation or words to his students, seducing and convincing victim witnesses. The facts from the trial there were nine victims, but only one testimony was open," he said.
Therefore, Mia ensures that the Public Prosecutor will carry out maximum demands against the defendant. However, Mia keeps the number of demands that will be read out at Wednesday's hearing a secret.
"What is clear is that the maximum penalty is 15 years in prison," he said.
When asked about the claim for restitution or compensation for the victim, Mia confirmed that this had been accommodated in the prosecution's demands. However, he explained, the claim for restitution itself will only be obtained by the reporting witness.
"Only a reporting witness. There is only one reporting witness. There has been a calculation. The amount will be read out in tomorrow's lawsuit," he said.
In this case, the defendant was charged with Article 81 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 76D of the Child Protection Act in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
