The Criminal Court yesterday sentenced a man to six months imprisonment after the court found him guilty of possession of pornography featuring a Cabinet Minister.
The Criminal Court identified the person as Ali Jinah of Gulhi in Kaafu Atoll.
The Court said the police officers who went to search Jinah’s house on last year October discovered eight magazines containing pornographic pictures, one file containing large number of pornographic pictures and one CD containing a porn film featuring a Cabinet Minister of Maldives.
Jinah was sentenced for possessing contraband.
The Court said Jinah denied the charges, claiming that the police did not find the materials inside his room and that he had never showed such materials to anyone.
The Criminal Court said that according to the word of the police officers who went to the scene, “it is known that the materials were found inside Jinah’s room.”
"We take such matters very seriously. Any attempt to ruin the reputation of a Cabinet Minister by possessing porn films featuring a Minister will be dealt with prompt arrest and prosecution," Cabinet Secretary Captain Abdulla Saeed told Minivan News.

Interesting. If everyone who uses porn in Maldives were to be arrested, who would pay for the upkeep of those imprisoned? It would probably be like 1% of the population paying for the 99% under arrest. And its even more interesting to know that the law specifically emphasizes against porn starring majlis members.
