Renowned movie translator and commentator Marysmats Matovu aka VJ Junior was on Tuesday evening arrested and taken to Police CIID headquarters in Kibuli on the orders of State Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Simon Lokodo.
Lokodo alleges that Matovu and his colleague Geoffrey Bbosa were arrested on grounds that they have for long been producing and circulating pornographic materials on CDs, flash discs and other devices across the country.
“I have evidence beyond reasonable doubt to lock you up for damaging the moral fibre of this country. You are a producer, a trafficker, a distributor of pornographic material which has circulated throughout the country,” Lokodo told VJ Junior.
He requested him to save time and resources, accept to become a State witness, then help Government to locate and apprehend other criminals of that kind who are still at large.
According to the anti-pornography law, he will be fined Shs7.5m or sentenced to 10 years imprisonment if found guilty.
