Justice Hopeful Apologizes for Remarks on Rape
Jakarta Globe | January 15, 2013

Supreme Court justice candidate M. Daming Sanusi made an emotional public 
apology on Tuesday after facing widespread condemnation for his insensitive 
remarks about rape.

“I apologize to the Indonesian public from the bottom of my heart,” Daming told 
Indonesian news portal detik.com. “I realize those words shouldn’t have come 
out from anyone, let alone a justice hopeful. I really, really regret that.”

Daming has been a judge for 24 years and was recently appointed the chief of 
the Palembang High Court.

He was taking part in a fit-and-proper test for Supreme Court justice nominees 
at the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Monday, along with five other 
judges.

During the test, Andi Anzhar, a lawmaker from the National Mandate Party, asked 
Daming’s opinion about sentencing rapists to death, to which he answered, “Both 
the rapist and the victim enjoy it. So, [we] have to think again about death 
sentence.”

His remarks prompted considerable criticism, particularly from the Indonesian 
Child Protection Commission. 

“Has Daming felt what it’s like to be a [rape] victim [or a member of the 
victim’s] family? It’s extremely inappropriate for a Supreme Court judge 
hopeful to [joke about] the suffering of the people and their feelings,” the 
commission’s secretary, M. Ihsan, said in a statement, as reported by news 
portal detik.com.

On Tuesday, he admitted he was guilty and did not deserve to defend himself.

“I was out of control. I was pressured with so many questions. I hate what I 
said — I didn’t know why [I said that],” Daming said as he wiped away his 
tears. “There’s no need to defend myself. I am guilty.”

He added that he would understand if his remarks disqualified him from being 
selected for the justice position.
