Sex clip 'distributor' nabbed
<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> JAKARTA - INDONESIAN police on Friday arrested a music engineer for allegedly uploading to the Internet a popular rock singer's private sex videos featuring two television starlets. Police said the suspect identified only as 'RJ' had worked in the studio with singer Nazril Ariel, 28, who was detained last month over the explicit videos which have shocked the country.
'RJ is a technician who edited songs where Ariel made the records,' national police spokesman Edward Aritonang said. 'The clips were taken from Ariel's laptop. We believe he's the first one who spread the clips.'
Ten people have been detained under Indonesia's tough anti-pornography law in connection with the 'Peterporn' scandal, named after Ariel's band Peterpan. They face up to 12 years in jail. Models and television personalities Luna Maya, 26, and Cut Tari, 32, who appear separately in the videos, have been questioned but have not been arrested. -- AFP
