An Ontario teacher found guilty Thursday of sexually abusing three children at an Indonesian school said he will appeal the decision.
A three-judge panel sentenced Neil Bantleman, of Burlington, Ont., to 10 years in prison.
"Today is completely a miscarriage of justice," Bantleman told The Associated Press. "I'll keep fighting."
The court also ordered Bantleman, 45, to pay a fine of nearly $10,000 or serve six additional months in jail.
"The defendant has deliberately committed violence and obscene acts," the judges said in their verdict.
