The West Sumatra Regional Police through the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) arrested a man with the initials AD who was suspected of threatening the spread of immoral videos of his lover SAZ to the public in order to serve his lecherous lust. The Head of Public Relations of the West Sumatra Police, Kombes Dwi Sulistyawan, said that this man was arrested for alleged threats committed to the SAZ victim. According to him, the suspects and SAZ knew each other on one of the introductory applications in May 2021 and then they exchanged phone numbers and intensely communicated. "This victim is a student and this perpetrator works as a laborer every day," he said during a press conference in Padang, Antara, Tuesday, March 28. The two then dated. In September 2021 they had a husband and wife relationship at the house of sister SAZ. After committing a relationship, SAZ did not know that the AD perpetrator took a video of the victim naked for 15 seconds showing the victim's body. After the incident, victims of SAZ often refused the perpetrator's request to return to having a husband and wife relationship with the Army and they often fight. In June 2022, the AD perpetrator spread photos and immoral videos of victims through social media Facebook, Instagram and websites. "The perpetrator also threatened to distribute the photos and videos to campus friends, lecturers at the victim's campus in Padang City. Then the victim reported to the West Sumatra Police Headquarters and his party carried out an investigation into this case," he said. West Sumatra Police officers immediately arrested the perpetrator on Wednesday, March 15 at around 18.30 WIB and detained and secured evidence in the form of a cell phone belonging to the victim. The perpetrator is suspected of Article 27 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph 1 and Article 27 paragraph 4 in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph 4 of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information on Electronic Transactions.
