anyumas Police have arrested Hasanudin, 30, a resident of Ciamis in West Java who works as a cilok vendor, for allegedly showing pornographic videos on his mobile phone to local children as a "lure".

An officer at the Banyumas Police said Hasanudin lured children to buy cilok he sold at higher prices by offering them to watch porn videos from his mobile phone.

“The suspect sold the cilok far above the usual price by promising the children a 'bonus' – watching porn on his mobile phone," a Banyumas Police officer that requested anonymity said on Thursday. 

Cilok, an acronym for aci-colok, is a traditional snack made from tapioca shaped into balls and served with peanut sauce. Hasanudin usually sold the snack to elementary school children in Karanglewas district of Banyumas, Central Java.

"Usually, each cilok is sold at Rp 500 [5 US cents], but he sold them for Rp 2,000 each, along with the 'bonus',” the police officer said.

The officer added that Hasanudin had apparently succeeded in his tactic, as within three days, many children came to buy his overpriced cilok simply because they wanted to watch the porn videos. The alleged crime came to light after several parents became suspicious when their children began asking for a higher daily allowance than the Rp 2,000 they were usually given.

“When their parents asked why, some of the children admitted that they wanted to buy cilok with the 'bonus' of watching bokep,” the officer said, using the slang for "porn".

The parents reported the matter to village officials, who then reported Hasanudin to the police. (ebf)
