Activists have once again called into question the Pornography Law as popular singer Gisella Anastasia faces jail after a sex tape was leaked to the public.

Gisella became a public sensation after a 19-second video clip went viral in November. The video, which was reportedly taken in a hotel room in North Sumatra in 2017, also features a man identified only by the initials MYD.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Yusri Yunus said that both Gisella and MYD had told the police that they were indeed the couple featured in the video. “She has admitted that it was her on the video,” Yusri said last Tuesday as quoted by kompas.com.

Two days after the video was uploaded, Febriyanto Dunggio and Pitra Romadoni -- two lawyers not representing Gisella -- reported eight social media accounts of undisclosed owners that had allegedly been spreading the video on the internet, claiming that it had generated public concern, among other issues.

To the police, Gisella reportedly explained that the video was recorded for personal documentation, and she had no intention of reselling it or circulating it to the public. Although the police have yet to catch the culprits who leaked the sex tape, they have already named Gisella and MYD as suspects in the case after investigating them as witnesses last Tuesday, which has drawn criticism regarding the police treatment of leaked sex tape case victims.
