A 14-year-old Australian boy has been indicted on three drugs charges, including two that carry a possible jail term, during his first day in a Bali court.
The teenager, wearing traditional Indonesian attire and a balaclava to shield his face, was mobbed by a large media contingent as he was shuffled into court yesterday flanked by six bodyguards, the Herald Sun reported.
The boy was indicted on three charges, the most serious of which relates to possession and carries a maximum penalty of six years in jail for juveniles.
Speaking to the boy in his makeshift children’s court, which featured SpongeBob SquarePants curtains, the judge provided comfort, telling him “We are one family, don’t be afraid”.
The schoolboy, from NSW, was arrested on October 4 when he was allegedly caught with 3.6 grams of marijuana outside a supermarket near Kuta Beach.
His father is back in Australia to sort out the family’s finances, but is expected to return to Bali later this week to attend his son’s second court hearing.
The family is facing mounting legal bills worth thousands of dollars a week, including hiring six bodyguards each time the boy is taken to court.
The schoolboy’s mother sat behind him during yesterday’s hearing before Judge Amser Simanjuntak in Denpasar.
Prosecutor I Gusti Putu Gede Atmaja read the three charges and called his first two witnesses who identified the teen.
One witness, who had been standing outside the supermarket, told the court he saw the teenager show police what looked like marijuana.
Mr Atmaja said he hoped the case would conclude next week.
Family lawyer Mohammad Rifan said his witnesses, including the teen’s parents, would testify the boy was a regular user and should be charged with a lesser offence. If the judge accepts this argument, the boy would be deported to Australia in the care of his parents or sent to a rehab facility.
The case is expected to resume on Friday.
