A Burlington man has now spent 10 days behind bars in Indonesia – without being charged.

Neil Bantleman, 45, is a teacher at a prestigious school in Jakarta, and is being held, while police investigate the alleged sexual assault of three kindergarten students. His wife Tracy is doing everything she can to get him released.

“I was able to sit with Neil for about 30 minutes and they’re doing OK. But at this point the process could just not happen fast enough for them. There’s nothing we can tell them. We give them the sense that things are going to happen to make this end soon because actually they’re still there.”

Tracy says she’s worried for her husband’s safety and mental well-being. Under Indonesian law, police can detain a person for a maximum of 40 days without charges.
