Brilio.net/en - South Jakarta District Court sentenced two accused relating to a pedophilia Facebook page named Official Candys Group case SHDW, 16 and DF, 17, guilty for spreading child porn content online.
"DF is sentenced to six years in juvenile prison while SHDW is going to be sent to Marsudi Handayani Social Home," said the lawyer of both defendants, Novia Hendrayanti to Kompas.com, Thursday.
The sentencing hearing was held behind the closed doors, considering both were still underage. DF and SHDW had been proven to violate the Article 27(3) No.19/2016 Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law and Pornography.
The sentence was lighter than what had been demanded by prosecutors who asked the court to sentence SHDW and DF to three and eight years in prison, respectively.
SHDW and DF were arrested along with two other suspects by Jakarta Police's cyber crime unit. Both worked as group admins for the pedophilia Facebook group which allegedly to have shared child pornography since last year.
