The Sanggau District Court in West Kalimantan has on Tuesday sentenced a human trafficker to 12 years in prison and fined for Rp 150 million.
Chong Kum Seng, a 50-year old Malaysian, was guilty of sex trafficking and violating the immigration law, kompas.com reported.
One of the two victims was a secondary student who was drugged and kidnapped in Lampung by Sri Eka, an accomplice who is still missing.
The sentencing, laid down by presiding judge Gabriel Siallagan, was in accordance with the prosecutor's demands.
Chong said he would appeal the court's decision, while prosecutor Anton Suhartono said the ruling was satisfactory.
The 15 year old victim, Kuntum (not her real name), however felt that the ruling was unfair.
"Chong should have given life behind bars for what he did, he's ruined my life," Kuntum told kompas.com by phone. (amr)
