A Canadian teacher imprisoned in Indonesia since 2014 after being convicted on charges of sexually assaulting students at a school in Jakarta has returned home, CBC News has confirmed.
Neil Bantleman said in a media statement today that he has been granted clemency by the Indonesian government. He's been back home in Ontario since the end of June. His family has requested that media outlets respect his privacy.
"Five years ago, I was wrongfully accused and convicted of crimes I did not commit and furthermore never occurred," Bantleman said in the statement. "I applied for clemency, which I am pleased was granted by Indonesia last month, upholding essential justice and human rights."
Bantleman thanked his brother Guy "for the tremendous amount of time, effort and love that he poured into campaigning for my return." He also expressed "deep appreciation to the Government of Canada for their steadfast commitment to seeing us home.
"Most of all, I want to thank my wife Tracy. I have no doubt that without her love and commitment, this day would not have been possible. Her tireless efforts with the coordination and communication between our legal team, school, embassy and family in Canada was the key to securing my freedom."

Guy Bantleman told CBC News today the experience of hugging his brother after such a long separation was "almost surreal."
"It's going to take some time. All of us just spending some time together and ... getting reacquainted, I guess," he said, laughing.
"We're relieved, obviously. There are some things that we know we're going to have to work through. It's moving on to a different phase. You just don't close the door and settle back in. You've got to deal with it and move it forward."
Bantleman was convicted along with Indonesian teaching assistant Ferdinand Tjiong in 2014 on charges of sexually assaulting young students at the Jakarta Intercultural School (JIS), where the children of many expatriates, diplomats and wealthy Indonesians are enrolled.

He and his co-accused were sentenced to 10 years in prison. Bantleman's conviction was overturned in August 2015. Indonesia's Supreme Court reinstated his conviction in February 2016 and added another year to his sentence.
Bantleman, who taught in Calgary as well, has maintained his innocence and the Canadian government has been lobbying hard for his release, arguing he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice. An investigation by CBC TV's The Fifth Estate found that critical pieces of the evidence used to convict were seriously flawed.
Guy Bantleman said his brother took a while to adjust to being back home.
"Obviously, five years of your life, and there's that readjustment to freedom, which I think he's doing quite well with and just getting reintegrated with being able to be free and be able to move about and set your own schedule," he said.
He said his brother's release was kept quiet for weeks because of its "terms and conditions" — which he would not discuss — "bilateral relations, the operation of the school, all important factors to keep this confidential as long as possible." He said he would not comment on the status of the case.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland brought up Bantleman's case on multiple occasions with Indonesian officials, sources say. A spokesman for Freeland's office today declined to comment on his release.
A year ago, a source with direct knowledge of Bantleman's case told CBC News the Canadian government saw a window of opportunity opening to secure his release, but it might have to wait until after spring elections because of the controversy surrounding the case and the potential for blowback from Indonesians still convinced of his guilt.
Last October, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Bantleman's family in Burlington, Ont. and said his government had been working with Indonesian officials to obtain a "positive outcome" in his case.
Congratulations Neil and Tracy. So glad your nightmare is over.
for taking too long
Young girl and family's faith in justice system shattered
after sex case dismissed
Deena CosterStuff
A man accused of raping a 7-year-old girl when he was a teen has had his charges dismissed because of delays between the alleged crime and the trial, with a judge ruling he wouldn't get a fair hearing.
The child complainant and her family say their faith in the justice system is shattered after the judge dismissed the charges just days before the trial, because of the "undue delay" which Judge Gregory Hikaka described as a "daunting" prospect for the accused.
The trial was a daunting prospect for the victim, but she was ready to meet it.
Judge Gregory Hikaka's May 7 pre-trial ruling came completely out of left-field for the now-12-year-old complainant and her parents, who were primed for the man's New Plymouth District Court trial to start six days later.
The girl, who has automatic name suppression as a sex abuse complainant, had met prosecutors and walked through the courtroom in preparation to give evidence.
A young girl who disclosed she had been raped was prepared to give evidence at her accused abuser's trial but the case was dismissed just days beforehand. STUFF
"She said 'so I went through all this for nothing?" the girl's mother, who cannot be named to protect her daughter's identity, said. "It's really ruined her life and I don't know how long it will take for her to get over it."
The girl's father was "gutted" as it had been hard for her to "face all that history again".
The man, who was granted permanent name suppression, pleaded not guilty to making an intimate visual recording, four counts of sexual conduct with a child under 12, sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and sexual violation by rape.
The offending allegedly took place in 2013, when he was 14 and the complainant was seven. The defendant and the complainant had a familial relationship.

The charges were dismissed under s322 of the Oranga Tamariki Act after his lawyer submitted there had been an unnecessary and undue delay in bringing the case to trial.
The Crown opposed the application.
In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the section should be used consistently with youth justice principles, including that decisions are made in a timeframe appropriate to a child or young person's sense of time.
In this case, the girl complained in March 2017 and the accused was arrested in September 2017 after a police investigation.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges the following month.
Judge Hikaka said both defence and prosecution had stressed the need for as early a hearing date as possible but a trial date came 20 months after the accused's first court appearance.
"...Almost a third of the defendant's life will have elapsed before the allegations are heard and that is very significant in terms of the timeframe appropriate to a young person's sense of time," the judgment said.
The accused had no previous convictions, was employed, and the case against him relied on memory recall, reliability and the complainant's credibility.
Children's Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft says the youth justice process has a strong emphasis on shorter time frames for dealing with cases. (File Photo).
Delays in securing timely sentencing and trial dates in the District Court have been of increasing concern to legal practitioners as the caseload burden on judges had grown in recent years.
A $54 million funding boost will help recruit more judges to remedy the situation.
But for the complainant and her parents, the system has let them down badly. "I didn't even know you could do that," the girl's mother said. "I'm p..... off because he gets to walk away without having his day in court."
She felt the experience would have a long-lasting impact on her daughter, and encourage her to keep silent. "She'll remember this and think 'what's the point'."
Children's Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft does not comment on individual cases but said it is well known there may be delays, sometimes significant ones, in the disclosure of sexual abuse by children.
Victim advocate Ruth Money says a recent Taranaki court ruling would create another barrier preventing sex abuse complainants coming forward.
When someone is charged as an adult, but the alleged offences happened when the person was under 18, police had discretion to file charges in the Youth or District Court.
Becroft said the youth justice process has a strong emphasis on shorter time frames for hearing cases than might be expected in adult courts.
Victim advocate Ruth Money said Judge Hikaka's ruling was "utterly ridiculous" and believed it would create another hurdle which would hinder complainants coming forward.
"We've actually got enough of those already."
More than enough. But then the judge doesn't have to be concerned for the rights or welfare of the victim, only the perpetrator. Child victims, all victims, need an advocate in court.
The same far-left idiots are running Canada's Justice System and cases like this are being thrown out all the time because of delays. The government doesn't fund the justice system adequately and ends up setting criminals and perverts free leaving their victims afraid and dismayed. Criminal rights should never exceed victims rights - that's totally perverse!
‘Mum cut my throat’:
Toddler’s shocking dinner-table confession
Susannah was just two when her mother bathed her, put her in a new pair of pyjamas and slashed her throat — but she survived.
Two Aussie Survivor's Stories
WARNING: Graphic details
Nicole Madigan
news.com.au
Susannah Birch was just two years old when the person she trusted the most almost killed her.
“My parents were Seventh Day Adventist but lived an otherwise normal life — church, friends and work,” Susannah tells news.com.au. “My father was a carpenter, and my mother was living at home while I was young.”
But on Australia Day 1989, everything changed.
“My father woke early and prepared to do a small weekend job for a client. My mother had bathed me and put me in a new pair of pyjamas,” she says.
“My father returned later that morning to find the cottage surrounded by police cars.
“Some time while he was gone, my mother had placed me on a tea chest, cut my throat with a knife and left me laying there for an estimated 40 minutes before coming out of her psychosis enough to phone the police.”
Hospitalised for more than three months, Susannah sustained a severed laryngeal nerve and trachea and received more than 50 stitches.

“It took me five weeks to talk again,” she says. “I had a tracheostomy tube in my throat for 11 years and have had quite a few surgeries over those years and after, until age 15.
“As an adult, I have one paralysed vocal cord and one which flutters slightly, as well as a scar around my neck.”
Susannah’s mother was diagnosed as bipolar and was not charged due to insanity at the time of the attack. She spent a year in a mental health ward before coming home for supervised visits, then eventually moving home.
“I remember the event in photograph-like images,” Susannah says. “I remember being in a kitchen with at least one knife sitting in a pot being boiled. I have an image of the knife approaching my face. I remember being on a stretcher outside, and I remember laying on a stretcher in the helicopter.
“When I was around age three, I was eating dinner with my father and said, ‘Mum cut my neck’. From that point forward, he talked to me about the event whenever and however I wanted, based on advice from a psychologist.”

After that, life went on as normal — for a while.
“Scarily normal, for me at least,” Susannah says. “It wasn’t till I was around age 11 that she had another psychotic slide that led to a series of events and behaviour changes that led to my parents’ divorce just before my 14th birthday.”
Despite having little contact with her mother since 2008, Susannah has been left with physical and emotional scars as a result of her mother’s abuse.
“I had a phobia of things near my face,” she says. “At age 10, I experienced depression. As a teen, I was suicidal at some points.
“As I grew older, I experienced depression and anxiety. I get easily worked up if and when she comes into my life, even through mentions. Having children was confronting, too.”
According to counselling psychotherapist Dr Karen Phillip, child abuse at the hands of mothers remains a particularly shocking crime, highly detrimental to victims due to the trusted relationship between mother and child and how infrequently it takes place.
“The mother-child bond is cemented and felt strongly by both mother and child,” says Dr Phillip. “Most mothers do the very best job they are capable of, therefore we seldom see intentional malice directed to the child.
“Saying this, we do unfortunately see mothers who abuse their child, intentionally or inadvertently. This is unusual.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renee* was just three years old when she was first abused by the woman she trusted the most, an incident that led to years of horrific child abuse perpetrated, or arranged, by her mother.
At least, that’s as far back as she can remember. It may have started even earlier.
“My earliest recollection is seeing my mother watch and allow the abuse,” Renee says. “But what I didn’t realise was that she was the instigator.”
Growing up, Renee lived with her mother and stepfather as well as her two younger siblings whom she loved fiercely and did her best to protect.
Despite her best efforts, though, the three children suffered extensive abuse — physical, sexual and emotional — at the hands of their mother or her accomplices.
“I was drugged and so was my brother,” says Renee. “We were sexually abused, repeated, over and over, and then I was expected to cook and clean.
“My mother would literally hand me to (my stepfather), or other times, she would drug me, and I would be in her bed. I thought it was special time, however I was just abused by both of them.”
Along with the physical and sexual abuse, Renee was also verbally assaulted and treated cruelly by her mother.
“I saved my money and bought porcelain clowns, which she would smash when she was angry with me,” Renee says.
“I was made to inject her with morphine and pethidine and to massage her feet.”
At 14, Renee had had enough and left home for the last time after being hit across the side of her head with a telephone, but the psychological repercussions of the abuse would last for years to come.
“I often wondered why she hated me so much, what did I ever do? All kids love their parents, I tried to get her to love me and be proud of me,” she says.
“Even after I left home, she still controlled me and my thoughts. I had to get her out of my head.
“The last time I tried to speak with her, I was 16 and had a six-month-old baby. She went to hit me again and verbally abused me.
“I’ve had several bad relationships and have tried to raise my five sons without a good role model or experience. But I have been to every available parenting group and am a fierce protector of my boys.”
Dr Phillip says mothers who abuse children have often experienced childhood abuse themselves, or drug or alcohol issues are involved.
“We often see mothers who have been raised by disconnected parents lacking love, attention and affection who take these attributes into their own parenting style,” she says.
“Then we have the mothers with sociopathic or narcissistic personalities who lack the ability to affectionately love or feel empathy for their child, resulting in a disengaged relationship.”
But when it comes to severe acts of violence and even murder, while those committed by fathers are often attributed to a desire for vengeance against the child’s mother, those committed by mothers are usually linked to mental illness or depression.
Susannah still lives with the scars of that day. Picture: Erika Fish
This, says Susannah, is leading to children being sent back to potentially unsafe situations because people cannot comprehend a mother would abuse their children.
Dr Phillip agrees but says more needs to be done to support mothers suffering from severe depression or mental illness.
“It appears children are sent back to abusive mothers due to the fact we struggle with understanding how any mother could abuse her child,” Dr Phillip says.
“Children living with an abusive mother or a mother suffering mental illness are at risk of developing social, emotional and behavioural problems. These children face challenges they are not emotionally equipped to manage, with many children at greater risk of drug use, poor school performance, alcoholism, poor social relationships and behavioural issues.
“Any mother struggling to manage needs to reach out for support. It is not only an impact on her but an enormous impact on the child she is raising and loves.
“No mother wants to hear she is failing, therefore, if you see a mother in distress, subtle slow steps to encourage and support is mandatory.”

UK Koran teacher who abused girl is spared jail
to help his family
UK's politically correct justice system
By Telegraph reporter
An Islamic teacher who molested a girl as he taught her the Koran has avoided prison after claiming his family was dependent on him because his wife speaks “very little English”.
Suleman Maknojioa, 40, repeatedly rubbed the 11-year-old’s leg and reached underneath her headscarf to touch her chest while giving her and her two brothers private tuition in Arabic.
Maknojioa was said to have “favoured” the girl and believed the touching was “appropriate” to reassure her.
The girl was said to have become frightened of what the tutor would do to her. He was reported to police after the children’s mother overheard her sons, aged 13 and seven, talking about the incidents in the kitchen.
On the day he was arrested, Maknojioa, a father of six, was due to teach 30 children at a mosque near his home in Blackburn, Lancashire.
He was later convicted of five counts of sexual activity but on Monday he was given a 40-week sentence suspended for two years after a court heard he was on benefits with a family reliant on him.
Preston Crown Court was told Maknojioa had been employed by the children’s parents in 2012 to teach them about the Islamic faith up to three times a week at their home in Lancashire.
Problems began in September of that year after the girl and her brothers started tuition in their living room. The abuse lasted around nine months. The court heard that during the lessons Maknojioa began touching the girl’s arms and head, then moved to the legs, feet, chest and thigh.
She told the jury: “I did not want it, but I was too afraid to say something. My brothers asked me what he had been doing and I didn’t know how to describe it. I told them he had touched me up.”
The girl’s father later confronted Maknojioa but he denied all the charges. He was found guilty after a trial.
In mitigation, Frida Hussain said: “This is a man who doesn’t pose any risk to his children. He has problems with his kidneys and is due to go back into hospital for a further follow-up operation.
“He is married with six children, that family unit depends on him. His wife doesn’t work and speaks very little English, they are dependent on him to lead their lives and with the running of the household.”
They have been in Britain for at least 7 years and the mother speaks very little English. So, she gets rewarded for her lack of effort by having her pervert husband's sentence suspended. I may be picky here, but I just don't think someone who makes no effort to join in the society in which they live, ought to be rewarded.
Passing sentence, Judge Michael Byrne told Maknojioa: “There could be no greater recognition of trust than between a minister of religion and pupils whose care is entrusted to him by parents.
“You breached that trust deliberately and repeatedly. I bear in mind that social services conducted their own assessment and found that you do not pose a risk. You are now unemployed, living on state benefits.”
Maknojioa will be under supervision for two years and made subject of a sexual offences prevention order for 10 years.
13 of the worst sex offenders jailed in Devon, UK in 2019
DevonLive looks back on the court cases involving sex offenders
By Paul GreavesA long list of people have been convicted of sex offences in the courts in Exeter in 2019.
This round-up looks at those who have committed the worst crimes. They include depraved men who have targeted children and some who have been convicted for historic offences. Others have stalked and sexually assaulted women. As convicted offenders they have all been put on the Sex Offender Register.
What they all have in common is that they have been put away for a number of years. The streets of Devon are safer because these defendants are behind bars.
Here DevonLive looks at the worst sex offenders in court in 2019.
A lonely teenager has been jailed for grooming a 13-year-old girl on social media and having sex with her in a park in Barnstaple.

He was about to turn 19 when he had sex with the girl and he was said to be isolated from people of his own age, lonely, and very immature.
Daniel Robinson has been jailed for attempting to engage a child in sexual activity
A predator who targeted girls in teen chat rooms was unmasked as a convicted child rapist by a Scotland Yard sting operation.
Daniel Robinson pretended to be a 17-year-old and encouraged a 13-year-old girl to touch herself and send him images without realising he was in fact messaging an undercover police officer.
He was jailed after police tracked him down to his home and found images on his computer of a previous victim of his grooming.

Nrn Irish Brother (13) and sister (14) allegedly raped by same man from education sector
Senior Reporter, Impartial Reporter
A man who allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl sparking pregnancy fears at her school over 30 years ago and allegedly abused her older brother “laughed in the face” of their father in recent weeks, it is claimed.
The brother and sister claim they were sexually abused by the same man when they were children and say the man was never prosecuted because their case was dropped “due to a lack of evidence” after they went to the RUC in Enniskillen.
The pair have alleged they were subjected to vile and depraved sex attacks at the hands of a man who worked in the education sector and then threatened them with physical abuse if they told anyone.
In separate interviews with The Impartial Reporter this week Helen and Kevin (not their real names) have recalled in vivid detail how the man, who still lives and works in the community, allegedly sexually abused them and got away with it.
Their father who was told by police that the case would not be pursued and their former teacher who called in the RUC officers at the time have also spoken to The Impartial Reporter for the latest report in our long-running series looking at historical sex abuse in Fermanagh. All four people have provided detailed accounts of what allegedly took place.
Helen, now 42, has spoken of her horror at believing she was pregnant after she was allegedly raped repeatedly by the man whose children she babysat and who offered to be her “boyfriend” when she was still a child herself.
Kevin, now 44, says the same man piled him with vodka and made him watch pornographic videos before abusing him. He also claims that a second man from the farming community, also sexually abused him along with other unidentified men, when he was 15.
None of the men at the centre of these allegations have been mentioned to this newspaper since our series began.
It is believed at least one of them may have access to children in his current role.
For Helen, now married with children of her own the memories are all too real.
“I remember one night I was asked to go to his house. I couldn’t believe it when he put on a porn movie and gave me a drink, it was whiskey. He tried to make me go to his bedroom but I said no, when I was leaving he tried to get me into his car, and I said no. I was 12,” she said.
The man, who was her parents’ neighbour and well trusted, allegedly told her that she “was always welcome to visit” and when she did several months of sexual abuse allegedly began.
“I can still picture the living room and the bedroom where the abuse took place. The bedroom was the last room on the right and there was a fireplace inside. On top of the mantlepiece was a photograph of two children.
“In the living room the television was in the corner. The abuse would start on the sofa and end in the bedroom and every time it happened, I would be scared,” she said.
Helen remembers being brought to the alleged abuser’s bedroom where he raped her, warning her that there would be “consequences” if she ever told her parents.
“Later I would discover that my period was late and I thought I was pregnant,” she said, explaining that she spoke privately to at least two of her school teachers who due to the seriousness of the issue informed her parents and the principal, a claim backed up by one of the teachers.
“I remember one of the teachers [provides her name] telling me how serious this was,” said Helen.
The teacher in question has corroborated this claim, telling The Impartial Reporter this week: “She was brought into the office and was in distress. I spoke to the principal, we got the family in and told them that they had to ring the police.”
Helen would later discover that not only did the same man allegedly abuse her older brother Kevin but like her he threatened him with physical violence, too. And such was the shock of the allegations being made that the pair’s mother collapsed on the floor of the police station.
But a criminal case did not proceed due to a lack of evidence.
“The police dropped the case, it was never pursued. The fact that we never got justice and the fact that I still pass his house where he lives sickens me to my stomach.
“I didn’t have much of a childhood because of him, he should be in jail for what he did. I was a child, he was an adult, and Kevin was my brother. I feel sick knowing what he did to him too. How many other victims of his are out there?” asked Helen.
And Kevin deals with the same torment every single day.
