A crime that shook Indonesia.. a school principal raped 13 students and they were "pregnant"
In a crime that shook society and public opinion in Indonesia, a school principal raped a number of female students, some of whom became pregnant from him. Despite the fact that the crime took place some time ago, the local authorities tried to conceal the crime for fear of their troubles.
Today, Tuesday, an Indonesian court sentenced a boarding school principal to life imprisonment for raping 13 schoolgirls in five years, some of whom became pregnant and gave birth to children.
Heri Wirawan, the principal of the girls' school located in Bandung in West Java province, pleaded guilty and apologized to his victims and their families during the trial.
The case was not revealed until the court proceedings began, and the police explained that they kept the case secret to prevent further psychological and social harm to the victims.
Wirawan is accused of raping at least 13 female students, aged between 11 and 14, between 2016 and 2021 inside the school, or in hotels or rented apartments, according to the indictment.
According to the indictment, according to "Sky News", 9 girls became pregnant from the victim as a result of rape and gave birth to children, according to the Associated Press.
The Bandung tribunal, consisting of 3 judges, found Wirawan guilty of violating the Child Protection Act and the Criminal Code.
The court ordered the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection to pay 331 million rupees ($23,200) in compensation to the victims, and between $600 and $6,000 for medical and psychological treatment for each girl.
