Kwok Chun-wai has made history by being the first person ever to be sent to prison for uploading pornographic images to the internet.
Kwok from Hong Kong was convicted under Chinese law which forbids the production, duplication, selling or circulation of pornographic products. The 24 year old was caught uploading 140 explicit images of Edison Chen who has recently been at the centre of an internet sex scandal.
Since the Chen scandal the Chinese Police have been said to have started a “witch hunt” for those responsible for uploading the pictures, and China’s most popular search engine Baidu has been censored and reprimanded for linking to the explicit pics. Even Triad gangs have put out contracts on Chen’s life!
Kwok was sentenced to two months in prison for his part in the scandal, and the Chinese authorities seem to be doing a pretty good job as The Morningstarr* was unfortunately unable to track down the infamous images.
