Testimony of arrested Elif Karaaslan revealed: 'My posts do not contain obscenity'

"I have understood the accusations brought against me. I previously worked as a referee affiliated with the TFF (Turkish Football Federation). However, I currently have no official connection. After being banned from refereeing, I filed a lawsuit with the ECHR. I believe that as a result of my case, I will return to refereeing." Karaaslan stated that the Instagram account belongs to her and that she activated the subscription system in 2024.

"THE POSTS DO NOT CONTAIN OBSCENITY"

Karaaslan included the following statements in her testimony:

"In this context, I share posts from my own life with those who subscribe to me. However, these posts absolutely do not contain obscenity. Instagram would certainly not accept content like OnlyFans. Content where a person is completely naked is not shared on Instagram. At most, there might be photos in a bikini here. The intent of the posts made in this context is not obscenity. As I mentioned, the system in question is based on consent."

"I HAVE NOT USED DRUGS, I HAVE NOT ATTENDED HOUSE PARTIES"

Emphasizing that she comes from an athletic background, Karaaslan said, "Because I come from an athletic background, I have never used drugs. I have not attended parties such as house parties. I do not have a nightclub culture. I do not want to provide the passwords to my mobile phone because it contains information belonging to my companies and private family photos. Consequently, I do not accept the accusations brought against me." she said.
