The sentence was lower than the prosecutor's demand of six months in jail.

VA was found guilty of violating articles 27 and 44 of Law No. 19/2016 on electronic information and transactions.

"The defendant has been proven guilty for intentionally transmitting electronic information that violated morality

[thus] the court sentenced her to five months in prison.

Accompanied by her lawyers, VA said

she accepted the court's decision and would now appeal the verdict.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors told the media they were still considering if

they would appeal the ruling.

The sentence will be reduced by the time that VA has already served.

and is expected to walk free from jail in five days.

Police caught VA in a Surabaya hotel room with a businessman

who is suspected to have paid the soap star for sex in January.
