A Playboy editor and a centerfold model who appeared in the magazine’s first edition in Indonesia were named by police as suspects in an indecency case.

Police said Kartika Gunawan, who posed in lingerie, and Editor Erwin Arnada were suspected of violating anti-indecency laws that carry sentences of up to nearly three years.
