Video Sex Scandal: Ariel Gets 3.5 Years Imprisonment

Nazriel Ariel Irham of Peterpan band has to stay 3 years and 6 months in jail from taping his explicit sexual conduct with a couple of Indonesian female celebrities.

An Indonesian pop star whose sex tapes with his celebrity girlfriends spread wildly on the internet was jailed on Monday for three and a half years, in a case that led to a wide crackdown on Internet porn in the country.

The trial highlighted a divide between a youthful Indonesia set against censorship on the internet and conservative pressure groups in the world’s most populous Muslim country who rallied outside the court demanding a harsher penalty.

Nazril “Ariel” Irham, 30, was jailed under a controversial pornography law, which was passed in 2008 to ban public displays of nudity and behaviour that could incite lust.
