The verdict imposed by the Judge is lighter than the prosecutor's demand, which demanded Adam Deni and Ni Made to be sentenced to 8 years in prison and a fine of Rp 1 billion, subsider 5 months. The Judge's consideration for lightening the sentence of Adam Deni and Ni Made in deciding the case is, among others, that Adam Deni is the breadwinner of the family.

"The lightening factor is that the defendants were polite and honest in the trial, which facilitated the trial. Defendant 2 has felt guilty and regretted his actions and promised not to repeat them. The defendants have never been sentenced before, defendant 1 is the breadwinner of his family in seeking daily sustenance, while defendant 2 has family responsibilities. There has been forgiveness between the defendants and the victim's witness," said the Judge.
