WILLEMSTAD - In response to the commotion about a sex video that recently circulated on social media, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) warns that distributing and forwarding such videos is a criminal offense that can carry a prison sentence.
The video in question showed sexual acts by a couple believed to have taken place in an office space of a local institution.
The institution was not at all happy with it and stated in a press release that 'this film was not made at that institution and that it had no involvement in the making of this film'.
The Public Prosecution Service emphasizes once again in a statement that "distributing pornographic images is a criminal offense for which a court can impose a prison sentence". But anyone who receives such a video and then forwards it can also get into trouble with the judiciary.
But according to the Public Prosecution Service, this video is also slander. “What makes it worse in this case is that one tries to tarnish the name of an institution and also of a person; which can be classified as defamation. Defamation is also an offense punishable by imprisonment.”
