Jakarta - Indonesian lawmaker Arifinto said Tuesday he has asked for forgiveness from God after he was photographed allegedly viewing pornographic content on his computer during a House of Representative plenary session on Friday. “I hope God forgives me…,” he said. Arifinto decided to resign from his position as a legislator on Monday, with mounting pressure on him following the porn content controversy. Arifinto on Monday announced he would resign from his seat after he was filmed watching a porn video on his tablet computer during a session of the parliament. An MP from the Prosperous Justice Party, he claimed the clip was not stored on his computer and had been a link he clicked on inside an anonymous e-mail he had received. “…this [resignation] is a consequence of what happened to me. I can accept it,” he said. Arifinto added that he expected other legislators to follow suit should they make such mistakes.
