The power was eventually cut from the advertising screen but not before passers-by had captured the cheeky scenes from the road on their mobile phones, later sharing them on social media, wrote the Bangkok Post .

The 24-year-old man allegedly responsible, an IT analyst, was arrested on Tuesday at his office.

Romantic scenes on TV or in films are often blurred or cut by state censors with pornographic websites blocked in the country.

Jakarta police chief Mochamad Iriawan said the man, whose identity has not been revealed, has admitted to the crime.

According to police, he decided to carry out the prank after finding login details on the billboard.

Mr Iriawan said: "The suspect claims he worked alone.

"But we are still investigating whether he was working alone, whether he had a particular motive, or whether he was just fooling around."

He will be charged with publicly displaying a porn film and displaying a film showing indecent scenes.
