AKARTA: Veteran actress Meriam Belina reported noted lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea to the Jakarta Police on Wednesday evening, accusing him of physical attacks and some truly unpleasant behavior.

The 46-year-old told the police that her “close friend” had been physically and verbally assaulting her since 2009.

Meriam brought evidence in the form of short messages sent by Hotman Paris calling her a “slut” and a “sperm holder”.

“To support the case, we also ask the victim to provide [test results from a doctor],” Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Rikwanto told tempo.co.id.

If proven guilty, Hotman Paris may face prison time of more than 5 years.

Commenting on the case, the flamboyant lawyer denied all the accusations, saying he and Mer — as the actress is fondly called — remained good friends.
