Chinese Internet porn sensation
detained by police
SHANGHAI (Reuters) – A Chinese woman who became an online
sensation after posting a
homemade pornographic film of herself on the
Internet has been detained in Shanghai,
according to state media. The 12-minute-video showed the
woman, surnamed Huang,
performing "sex acts," the official
China Daily said
in its weekend edition,
without elaborating.
"It soon became one of the most popular downloads on the
mainland, with thousands of
people downloading it last month," the report cited the
local police as saying in a statement.
The woman set up a blog, hoping to profit from her
notoriety and sell interviews with herself
for up to 30,000 yuan (2,924 pounds) a time, the
newspaper said.
Despite the police's best efforts, the video is still
available online, it added, without saying what
penalty the woman may have to pay.
Pornography is illegal in China,
although it is widely available on pirated DVDs throughout the
country, and on the Internet.
