flag An Australian man in Timor-Leste was sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sexual abuse, the longest foreigner sentence ever in the country.

flag Robert Trott, an Australian man in his late 70s and long-term resident of Timor-Leste, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for multiple counts of child sexual abuse, the longest sentence ever given by Timor-Leste to a foreigner. flag The sentence followed an appeal that corrected a miscalculation in his original 11-year term. flag His conviction, which stemmed from a complaint reportedly made to Australian authorities, is final, though he may challenge the sentence length. flag The case, which drew attention as Timor-Leste joined ASEAN, was welcomed by the victim’s legal team as evidence of the country’s improving judicial system.
