A man in the city of Sibolga, North Sumatra is facing legal consequences after he reportedly posted a post-intercourse photo of himself and a woman for everyone to see online.
The man, identified as 43-year-old HL, allegedly uploaded a naked photo of himself and the married woman he’s reportedly having an affair with, identified as 47-year-old LS, on her social media page recently. HL, who is also married, is suspected to have posted the photo out of jealousy of LS’ husband, even though their affair had been going on for a year and a half.
“The suspect posted the photo because he was jealous, there was someone who told him that the victim had a husband, and the suspect’s intention was so that no one would disturb her. The post was embarrassing for the victim, because she has a husband,“ Sibolga Police’s spokesman R. Sormin told reporters yesterday.
LS was informed by her colleague on Sunday of the photo of her with a man sans clothing on her Facebook page, which later prompted her to file a report to the police. The photo itself was reportedly taken at a hotel room in August 2020, and it was uploaded without LS’ permission.
Police’s investigation revealed that HL was the person who uploaded the photo, and he was apprehended on Thursday last week.
HL has been named a criminal suspect and is currently detained. He’s been charged with violation of articles on decency and/or defamation under Indonesia’s Information and Electronic Transactions Act (UU ITE), which could see him imprisoned for up to six years.
