While videos allegedly featuring Peterpan lead singer Ariel having sex with different celebrities made him a top Twitter topic on Tuesday, Jakarta Police said they were seeking those responsible for uploading the clips on the Internet.
“Our focus is to find out who uploaded the clips,” police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said.
“We will request help from [technology] experts to investigate the case,” Boy said.
He added that police would charge those who uploaded the video with Criminal Code article 292 for spreading pornography. The charge carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison.
Boy also said police would use the controversial 2008 Information and Electronic Transaction Law to net the perpetrators.
However, he said police investigators had no immediate plans to question the people who allegedly appear in the video: Ariel and high-profile TV presenters Luna Maya and Cut Tari.
Last Friday, the first video made the rounds on several websites, including Facebook, allegedly showing Ariel having sex with current girlfriend Luna Maya. The link has since been taken down.
