Semarang Police questioned two vocational school students who allegedly spread a porn video that featured students.
The police's Criminal Investigation Unit chief Adj. Comr. Yusi Andi Sukmana said they identified the two suspects after interviewing witnesses, including the person who filed the report, school officials, students who allegedly appeared in the video and their parents.
“We questioned the two female students who allegedly spread the video,” Yusi said, as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
The two students were friends with the suspected students who appeared in the video.
The students in the video, aged 13 and 16 have admitted making the video that went viral on WhatsApp, Yusi claimed. “They admitted making it in 2017.”
The two students in the video were accompanied by several agencies during the questioning, including Semarang Women Empowerment, Child Protection and Family Planning Agency officers, Correctional Center social workers and their parents.
“Those are the procedures because both of them are minors,” Yusi added.
Semarang Regent Mundjirin expressed concern and said the case had tarnished Semarang’s education in the public’s eyes, especially because one of the alleged actors was only 13. (nmn)
