Court to free sex teachers

JAKARTA – An Indonesian court will free two international schoolteachers who were jailed for sexually abusing students, the pair’s lawyer and the brother of one the teachers said yesterday, in a case that critics say was fraught with irregularities.

“The previous verdict has been overturned by the Jakarta High Court because there was no evidence of sodomy,” the pair’s lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea told reporters.
