The pedophile cleric of Indonesia



Reuters:

An Indonesian child protection agency is investigating reports of a marriage between a Muslim cleric and a 12-year-old girl, the Jakarta Post newspaper reported on Sunday.

The newspaper said the 43-year-old cleric from Central Java allegedly married the minor girl with her parents' consent in August and planned to marry two more girls, aged seven and nine.

...

Indonesia has a minimum age of 16 for marriage. The penalty for violating that requirement is five years in prison. It looks like this guy is going for 15. At least all of his wives would be of age by the time he finished his sentence. The cleric is supposedly a rich guy. There is no indication whether he bought the girls from their parents.
