Dozens of supporters attended a vigil last night for a former Calgary teacher, imprisoned in Indonesia.
Neil Bantleman is on trial there, accused of sexually assaulting young students at the school where he taught.
Janice Lacroix, a close friend of Neil’s, tells City News Bantleman has dedicated his life to teaching children.
“For these allegations to come down and for him to be currently standing trial, accused of these horrific crimes is unfathomable,” she said.
Joel Chalifoux, who has known Bantleman for about 19 years, says he knows Bantleman is innocent.
