"Bribes paid for Leslie's release"

One young woman's struggle to become the hottest Australian in an Indonesian prison fails...

New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz: Bribes paid for Leslie's release

Forgive me, is that heartless?

How about this then? Can we surmise that the bribes were paid by the "privileged offspring of Indonesia's elite" to ensure their names were not publicised?

Can we also uncharitably surmise what it was that a gaggle of Australian "lingerie models" were doing with these "privileged offspring of Indonesia's elite"?

Should we care?

Ooh... here are some pictures of Ms Leslie at work.

Oh, and update: Maybe I am being uncharitable in questioning her ah... profession... this wikipedia entry on her suggests she worked (as a model) quite a lot in South East Asia.

And... further update: Saw her in the middle of the media scrum on the news last night. Have to say, 3 months in an Indonesian prison would probably entitle anyone to a dignified return & a little peace & quiet, and the opportunity to do a few lines before having to endure that sort of scene. Even Kate Moss was allowed that right?
