The law raised widespread condemnation from critics who claimed it failed to properly define pornography, opening the door to misuse by authorities.

The investigation against Gryshai was opened following a complaint lodged by a local MP, angered at her TV appearances on talk shows.

Police found pornographic material on her husband's computer during a home raid. The man maintained it was for private use, while Gryshai said she had never shot a movie in Ukraine.

"They don't see the difference between storage and production," Gryshai told The Times.

"I was left alone with a child, worked as a model in various magazines. When I was asked to star in a porno movie I accepted because I needed the money. I have been trying to explain that I did not do it out of a love for the business but because I had to feed my son," she added.

Ukrainian feminist activist group Femen staged a demonstration in support of Gryshai in front of the Ukrainian Parliament in 2010.
