Indonesian court rejects woman's appeal after she exposed cheating boss

The supreme court on Thursday dismissed the challenge from Baiq Nuril Maknun, who was found guilty of breaking a controversial law against spreading indecent material, saying she failed to produce new evidence.The court's decision leaves in place a 500 million rupiah fine and six-month jail term, which Maknun will now be ordered to serve.

The case against Maknun goes back to 2012, when she recorded the principal of the school where she worked discussing graphic sexual details about an affair he was having with another colleague. Lawyer Joko Jumadi said his client was disappointed with the latest ruling, her last course of appeal. "We have followed all legal avenues and now we hope President Joko Widodo will do something about it," Jumadi said.
