Man gets 8 months for molestation<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Defendant Nasir Salim, 49, flashed a small smile
\non Tuesday after the judge presiding over his case at the Central
\nJakarta District Court sentenced him to eight months in prison
\nfor physically abusing a prospective foreign worker.<\/p>\n
\"The (four months) the defendant spent at Salemba penitentiary
\nis automatically subtracted from the sentence,\" presiding judge
\nHoepojo told the court.<\/p>\n
The defendant, he said, was guilty of violating Article 351 of
\nthe Criminal Code on physical abuse, which carries a maximum
\nsentence of two years and eight months in prison.<\/p>\n
The sentence was lighter than the one-year jail term demanded
\nby prosecutor Abdul Kadir Latief.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor earlier charged Nasir with physically abusing
\nIis binti Kanda and sexually molesting another woman, Yayan
\nYulianti, on March 11 this year. The incidents took place on Jl.
\nPercetakan Negara X at a two-story all-female dormitory used to
\nhouse women before they are sent to work abroad.<\/p>\n
But the court found Nasir not guilty of the sexual molestation
\ncharge due to a lack of witnesses and evidence.<\/p>\n
According to Abdul, Nasir, who was drunk at the time the
\nincidents occurred, forced Yayan to give him a massage at 10:30
\np.m., during which he fondled her breasts, buttocks, thighs and
\ngenitalia.<\/p>\n
\"Later that night, as witnessed by several people, he banged
\nIis' head at least twice against the floor, until she was
\nbleeding from her head,\" the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
The dormitory is owned by PT Dian Karya Trampil, a labor
\nexport firm run by the defendant's younger sister, Fathia Salim,
\nalias Patya.<\/p>\n
Both Iis and Yayan are currently working in Saudi Arabia.
