   An Indonesian court sentenced a teacher to death for raping 13   
   students, marking the first instance of a death sentence for   
   rape crimes in the country.   
      
   Herry Wirawan, 36, sexually groomed 13 girls between the ages of   
   12 and 16 years old over a period of five years. A judge said   
   Herry impregnated eight of his victims, Reuters reported.   
      
   Herry initially faced a life sentence for his crimes, but   
   prosecutors appealed for the death penalty. The debate over   
   implementing the death penalty has proven contentious as the   
   nation’s human rights commission opposed its use as "not   
   appropriate."   
      
   But the judge ultimately amended its ruling to apply the death   
   penalty – the first time a rapist has faced such a punishment   
   for his crimes. Herry will now face a firing squad.

   "(We) hereby punish the defendant with the death penalty," the   
   judge said in a statement on Monday posted on the Bandung High   
   Court’s website.   
      
   Opponents of the death penalty argued that the threat of   
   execution has not proven to act as a deterrent against serious   
   crime.

   The suggested punishment for child rapists under Indonesian law   
   is 15 years in prison, but judges can hand out tougher sentences.   
      
   Herry worked at a religious boarding school, which some argue   
   can provide the only way for children from poorer families to   
   get an education. Those same critics argued that child safety   
   proved more important than punishments.   
      
   Ranto Sibarani, an Indonesian human rights lawyer, told the   
   South China Morning Post that this case and others have shown   
   the need for stronger mechanisms and oversight to protect   
   children from abuse, such as refusing accreditation to schools   
   or organizations without clear child safety policies.
