JAKARTA: A Canadian and an Indonesian have been ordered back to jail for committing sex abuse at a Jakarta international school after their acquittals were overturned, a court official said Thursday, the latest dramatic twist in the long-running case.
The Supreme Court in Jakarta on Wednesday overturned the acquittals handed down by the high court in the case of administrator Neil Bantleman, who also holds British nationality, and teaching assistant Ferdinad Tjiong, a court spokesman said.
