Foreigner caned, jailed 14 months for sexual harassment

The Magistrate’s Court on Thursday sentenced a 43-year-old Indonesian man to 14 months’ imprisonment and one stroke of the cane for sexually harassing a local woman at work.

Nanang Prasetyo Handoko pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual harassment of his victim, a general helper at a company in the Lambak Kanan industrial area, in 2019, 2020 and 2022, where he had also worked.

While he had sought the victim’s forgiveness and the court’s leniency, he also attempted to trivialise his actions by claiming the offences were meant as a joke.
