POLICE in Jakarta, Indonesia have charged a man under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE) for an alleged sexual harassment incident.
According to reports in the Jakarta Post, police named a former Starbucks Indonesia employee as suspect in the case after he posted a video showing himself and another employee looking at a female customer's cleavage through a CCTV camera on social media.
"(The suspect we are identifying as 'D') posted the video on his Instagram account and it went viral. We have named him a suspect as we have received a police report from the victim and questioned witnesses," Jakarta police spokesperson Senior Commander Yusri Yunus said.
Another former Starbucks employee, identified as K, who is seen in the video zooming in the CCTV footage to get a clearer look at the woman's cleavage, is a witness in the case.
The police apprehended the duo on Thursday evening after the police report was filed by the victim.
Yusri said the police had charged D with violating Article 45 of the ITE Law that prohibits individuals from spreading videos and other electronic information that violates morality standards.
The provision carries a maximum punishment of six years' imprisonment and a Rp1 billion (US$68,997) fine.
Starbucks has since apologised for the incident and fired the two employees implicated.
