An East Java lawmaker whose sex video has been circulated on the Internet says the video might have been taken from his laptop which he had sold recently.

Iwan Fajarudin, a National Mandate Party (PAN) lawmaker from Purworejo Legislative Council, met with the council chairman on Thursday to discuss the scandal. Iwan said the woman in the video was his wife.

"I have been instructed to find who defamed me and leaked the video of my wife and I," Iwan said, as quoted by news portal Detik.com. "I am still gathering information, but so far it seems that the person who leaked it is someone from the council."

Iwan said he was a victim and that he suspected the video was taken from his laptop, which he had sold recently at a Purworejo mall.

"It was my own recklessness and foolishness for not cleaning the files on the laptop when I sold it, including the ones in the recycle bin. Now the video is being used against me, to topple me," he said, adding that he will file a report to the police and ask them to find the perpetrator.

It is the second such case this week. On Monday, Twitter user @Fahri_Israel uploaded a sex video and claimed it featured Anis Matta, a deputy House speaker from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).

Anis lambasted the video as an attempt to undermine his party ahead of the 2014 elections, adding that @Fahri_Israel had consistently attacked the PKS.
