A woman has been remanded in custody for seven days after prosecutors accused her of sharing indecent videos online, violating public decency laws.
The Cybercrimes Directorate, alerted prosecutors after noticing explicit footage openly available on the woman’s social media account.
Prosecutors swiftly issued an arrest order, and officers detained her shortly afterwards.
When confronted with the video clips during questioning, the woman admitted responsibility for posting the content. Investigators seized her mobile phone, believed to have been used to publish the offending videos, and preparations are now being made to refer the case to a criminal court.
The Cybercrime prosecutor warned the public to be cautious about what they choose to share online, pointing out that posting content offensive to modesty can land offenders in prison for up to two years. Devices used to commit such offences will also be confiscated.
She added that prosecutors remain determined to enforce the law against those responsible for sharing explicit or morally unacceptable material online.
