Man Charged with Sex Offences in Indonesia
An Australian man detained by police on the Indonesian island of Lombok has been charged with having sexual relations with four underage boys.
Former Adelaide nightclub owner Don Storen is currently the director of the Senggigi Reef Resort on the Indonesian island of Lombok. Earlier this week four unidentified teenage boys were detained by police for stealing items from his hotel room.
Apparently it was then the boys made allegations against Storen which have led to him being named as a suspect accused of having sexual relations with the boys who have undergone medical examinations.
Looking at this situation a few scenarios come to mind. Yes he did it or, the boys lied to get out of being charged with stealing and invented the whole story of being sexually abused by the Lombok Resort director. It is a hard one to call.
However, Storen says he thinks he can prove he was elsewhere when the alleged offences occurred.
"I strenuously deny that the statement these boys gave and obviously they'd given them to make things a bit easy for them, maybe, I don't know" he said. "I'm very disappointed and I strenuously deny what they're saying."
Storen says he hopes to defeat the charges in court and no doubt he will. It's a pity they don't use lie detectors in Indonesia!. Or do they?.
