Made Arya Kencana, Denpasar – West Nusa Tenggara Police investigating an Internet sex video featuring a prominent local legislator who is running for district head of Central Lombok say they have yet to find any indications of criminal wrongdoing.

The five-minute video, uploaded onto YouTube on May 25, shows Suhaili FT having sex with an unidentified woman in what appears to be a hotel room, prompting calls for an investigation.

Suhaili has confirmed the video is of him and his wife, and says it was leaked to prevent him winning the June 7 district election. He finished a close second in the poll with 21 percent, behind Gede Sakti on 24 percent. A runoff poll between the two is scheduled for July 19.

Provincial police chief Brig. Gen. Arif Wachyunadi said on Thursday that his office was looking for an angle to approach the case.

"So far we haven't found any indication of criminal wrongdoing," he said, adding that unless someone filed a complaint about the video's production, uploading or distribution, then police were not compelled to treat the case as a crime.

"Presumption of innocence is the key here," Arif said. "Meanwhile, we urge the public not to overreact to the video."

This case, in one of the country's least developed provinces, comes in sharp contrast to the celebrity sex video scandal in Jakarta where Nazril "Ariel" Irham, the lead singer of pop band Peterpan, has been arrested on pornography charges.
