Actor with Initials MR Arrested for Alleged Extortion Against Same-Sex Couple

Kapanlagi.com - A male soap opera actor with the initials MR is now dealing with the police after being arrested in the Harjamukti area, Depok City, West Java, on Wednesday (6/5/2025). The arrest was carried out by the Cempaka Putih Police following reports related to allegations of extortion made by the perpetrator against his partner, who is also a man.

The Cempaka Putih Police Chief, Kompol Pengky Sukmawan, confirmed the arrest when contacted by the media. He explained that the arrest stemmed from a report filed by the victim, who felt he could no longer endure the perpetrator's treatment. The report detailed acts of extortion that had occurred multiple times.

"Yes, there was a police report from the victim. The extortion involved requests for money, which had been transferred several times, with losses of around 20 million, either through transfers or cash. Perhaps because he could not stand it anymore, he reported to the Cempaka Putih Police," said Pengky Sukmawan.

Pengky stated that the arrest process had been carried out, followed by an in-depth investigation, until MR was finally named a suspect. The charge against MR is related to extortion.

"An arrest was made, investigated, and a suspect was established. The charge is extortion," he emphasized.

1. Same-Sex Relationship

Furthermore, Pengky revealed the modus operandi used by MR in carrying out his actions. The perpetrator is known to have threatened to spread sensitive personal material if his demands were not met. This threat became a tool to pressure the victim to continue providing a certain amount of money.

"He (the perpetrator) threatened to spread nude photos and short pornographic videos of the relationship between him and the victim," Pengky explained.

Regarding the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, Pengky confirmed that both have a same-sex relationship. "Yes, same-sex, that's correct," he said.

2. Complete Identity

When asked about the complete identity of the soap opera actor with the initials MR, Pengky was still reluctant to disclose it in detail. He explained that this is related to the sensitive nature of the case. Kompol Pengky could only provide the initials of the perpetrator for now.

"For now, it cannot be disclosed. Because this is sensitive, I can only give the initials," he said.

However, Pengky confirmed that the information they obtained strengthens that the perpetrator is indeed a soap opera actor. Although MR is currently suspected of extortion, Pengky did not rule out the possibility of other criminal charges, including those related to the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE) or pornography, considering the threats of spreading personal videos and photos.

"Yes, it is possible. But for now, we are focusing on the extortion charge first. We will delve deeper and study it further," he concluded.
