JAMBI, Indonesia — Indonesian police has arrested two suspects charged with having made a porn video which became viral in the country, where all adult content is criminalized.
Reza Khomeini, the acting head of the Jambi Police’s Sub-Directorate of Cyber Crime, only identified the suspects by their initials K. N. and M. A. They are being accused of producing the sex video from which a segment was widely distributed through social media platforms under the name “Enak Yank,” which translates as “It’s Delicious, Bro.”
After a lengthy interrogation, the two suspects were arrested and will be held for 20 days at the Jambi Police Headquarters’ detention center, according to local press reports.
The suspects had been summoned by investigators last month to answer questions about the incident but they did not show up. For the second summons for this week, Jambi police reached out first to their parents and their attorneys, warning them about the arrest warrants.
The suspects are being charged with several statute violations for allegedly producing the “Enak Yank” content, adding up to a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
Arrests for producing adult content against — very selectively enforced — laws are common in countries which criminalize sex content along the lines of legislation like that proposed by the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 in the U.S.
As XBIZ reported, under the country’s harsh 2008 obscenity law, Law 44, Indonesia — including Bali, a popular destination for tourists, expats and influencers — has also become notorious for recurring arrests of locals and foreigners for making and sharing adult content online.
“The country’s ambiguous pornography laws have led to the jailing of people over adult content and leaked sex tapes, including celebrities,” news site Coconuts Bali explained last year, when an Instagram influencer was detained for alleged indecent content. “Even so, some Indonesians still break the law, with a number of content makers active on adult platforms such as OnlyFans, which is popular among sex workers.”
