An Indonesian woman who exposed her cheating boss has been slapped with a six-month jail term for her trouble.

Baiq Nuril Maknun was handed the sentence after discovering her boss was having an affair with a colleague.

The 36-year-old worked in a school as an administrator on the island of Lombok and had herself rebuffed the principal's repeated advances.

The supreme court's shock ruling overturned an earlier court decision that had cleared her of breaking a controversial law against spreading indecent material.

'I'm saddened and shocked by this sentence', Maknun's husband Lalu Muhamad Isnaini said today in reaction to the ruling, which was issued last week.

The odd case stretches back to 2012 when Maknun recorded a conversation in which the principal of the school where she worked revealed graphic sexual details about an affair he was having with another colleague.

Co-workers of the school administrator later convinced Maknun to release the recording in a bid to expose the man's history of lecherous behaviour, according to her lawyer Joko Jumadi.

He said: 'The principal shared very graphic details about his affair with the school's treasurer in the recording.'

In response, the principal fired Maknun and filed a complaint with authorities.

Maknun was initially cleared of the charges by a local court in Lombok, next to holiday hotspot Bali.

But last Friday, Indonesia's top court reversed that decision, finding her guilty of violating the electronic information law and sentencing her to six months' jail along with a 500 million rupiah (£26,489) fine.

Maknun told local reporters that the ruling was unfair, saying at the time: 'I'm just a victim -- what did I do wrong?'

The court did not give reasons for its verdict.

The prosecutor's office in Lombok told AFP today it is reviewing the case before Maknun begins her sentence.

Indonesia's corruption-riddled justice system has long been criticised for the quality of its rulings, while the electronic information law itself has come under fire for being too vague and open to misuse.
