Indonesian Sex Tape Scandal

In Bandung, Indonesia, one of their famous pop stars was sentenced to three and a half years in prison with a fine of $28,000. He was jailed due to multiple online sex videos of him and celebrities. Muslims are proud to see this step taken in conserving the morality for Islam. But not all are as happy, others saw this as a too leniant of a sentence and decided to storm the court after the sentencing. Nazril Irham, his pop star name is Ariel, was quickly put in an armored car. Uniformed group offering protection to Irham, Pancasila Youth clashed with protesters who stormed the court. The two women included in some of these videos were famous Indonesian actress, Luna Maya, and then Cut Tari, a television presenter. Irham's lawyer, O.C. Kaligis, stated they only enforced the pornography law to take away the attention on the corrupt government.
