Rapist dad faces trial

Rapist dad faces trial

BEKASI: The police will soon submit the case against AF, who
allegedly raped his daughter, a minor, to the prosecutors, an
officer said on Friday.

Bekasi Police chief Adj. Comr. Suwondo Nainggolan said that
the suspect faces a maximum punishment of nine years in prison as
stipulated in Article 294 of the Criminal Code on child
protection.

Angry neighbors brought AF and his wife to the police earlier
this month after the girl told them what had happened. AF told
the police that his wife helped him to rape their own daughter on
two occasions.

Suwondo said that the wife would also be charged in the case.

"Religious figures should hold talks and read the Koran at
least once a week for the residents ... It might prevent similar
crimes from happening," he said. -- Antara
