Three months later, Meyf was arrested on charges of "obscenity" in the northwestern Turkish city of Canakkale, and the photos were subsequently removed. Under Turkish law, a person who publishes "obscene" material is punishable by up to three years in prison. Meyff was initially sentenced to 6 months in prison, but due to his good performance, the sentence was shortened to 5 months, after which he was sentenced to a suspended sentence.
