Canadian Teacher in Indonesia Accused of Child Abuse

Jackarta Indonesia, a Canadian teacher and his assistant are on trial after being accused of sexually abusing a kindergarten student at the international school. 60 teachers and parents of students at the school protested outside the South Jakarta District Court supporting the accused teachers. The names of the accused are Neil Bantleman,  and Ferdinant Tjiong. Five janitors at the school are being tried on the same allegations. The family of the victim is suing the school for $130 dollars. Supporters of Bantleman and Tjong say this is the sixth time these type of allegations at the school.

I think that the fact that 6 allegations of this type have been made at this school is both good for the accused and bad for them. It could be considered good because it makes it look like the accusations are false and and just trying to get money from suing teachers. It could also be considered bad because it makes it look like something like sexual assault isn't too rare at that school. I also find it very strange how many cases there are. I mean the school also has five other janitors at the school who are currently being tried at the same time as Bantleman and Tjong. In cases like these I really hope that the verdict given by the court is the right one.
