Playboy in Indonesia

Kartika Gunawan

From the Asian Sex Gazette:

Playboy editor, model named as suspects in Indonesian indecency case

Jakarta - Playboy magazine’s local editor-in-chief and its first centrefold model in Indonesia were formally named by police Thursday as suspects in an indecency case against the publication.

Authorities said they were investigating Kartika Gunawan, a woman who posed in lingerie in a premiere edition last April, and Erwin Arnada, the editor. They could be prosecuted, and if convicted, imprisoned for two years and eight months.

The magazine’s Indonesian launch caused a stir in the predominantly Muslim country of 220 million, prompting the publisher to relocate its offices from the capital of Jakarta to the more liberal resort island of Bali. A second edition was released in June.
