Canadian man Neil Bantleman, a former teacher at the prestigious Jakarta Intercultural School, was first jailed in for allegedly sexually abusing kindergarten children. He was briefly released in February on appeal, but his freedom was short lived and he was jailed again by a higher court. He will continue to serve his year jail term in Jakarta's grossly overcrowded Cipinang prison. The decision again shines a spotlight on the quality, independence and integrity of Indonesia's judicial system. The school, independent investigators, and the United States, British, Canadian and Australian embassies in Jakarta have all questioned the legitimacy of the guilty verdict.
