Ariel 'Peterporn' gets 3 1/2 years jail term

Much to the displeasure of Ariel's fans, presiding Judge Singgih Budi Prakoso from the Bandung District Court sentenced the rock star to 3 1/2 years in jail and a fine of $25,000 (250 million rupiah).

The fine is to be paid over the course of three months.

The verdict is considered lighter than the demand of the prosecutors, which was at least 5 years. Two weeks ago the defense team lead by OC Kaligis has presented a hundred page of defense statement for the trail as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Angry fans insisted he did nothing wrong, as they said he made the tapes in the privacy of his own home.

Other online news also carried the report on the Ariel sex-tape case. Below is the report by MSNBC online:
