School Cleaners Who Raped Boy, 6, Jailed

Four caretakers at an exclusive school in Indonesia who repeatedly raped a six-year-old boy have been jailed.

Each of the men were sentenced to eight years in prison, and ordered to pay a £5,100 fine, after being "proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing sexual abuse and violence on minors".

Another suspect, a woman, was jailed for seven years for "assisting in violence and the sexual abuse of children".

Police say a sixth cleaner committed suicide by drinking bathroom cleaner while in custody.

The victim's family are now suing the Jakarta International School – favoured by expats and wealthy Indonesians – for $125m (£80m).

Lawyers for the five plan to take their appeal to the High Court, and claim the verdicts were unfair because medical reports found the boy had suffered no major injuries.

However, prosecutors stated that the boy had been raped 13 times.

A Canadian teacher, Neil Bantleman, along with an Indonesian teaching assistant, is on trial separately, accused of abusing the young boy along with two other students. Both deny the charges against them.
