A police officer
cut the power supply to the billboard after the sexually
explicit film had run for five minutes, but by then pictures and
videos of the clip taken by amused motorists had already been
widely shared on social media.
Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country, has a strict
censorship policy. Sex and kissing scenes are cut from movies
and television shows, and pornographic sites are blocked.
"The suspect violated the information and technology law and
pornography law," said Awi Setiyono, Jakarta Metro Police
spokesman.
Setiyono said a 24-year-old was arrested on Tuesday at his
office in South Jakarta, where he works as an IT analyst.
Police found the suspect after the cyber-crime unit traced an IP
address connected to the billboard. The suspect said he had
hacked into the system as a prank after seeing log-in details
shown on the billboard, Setiyono said.
