6 charged with blackmail
A COURT in Chongqing has charged six people with working together to blackmail government officials by recording videos of them having sex, Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
The six were charged with extortion on Monday, Xinhua said, citing a statement from judicial authorities.
Investigators said the group "lured officials into having sex with women and secretly recorded their encounters to blackmail them from 2008 to 2009," Xinhua said.
The charges come after a case in which footage of a district Party chief having sex with a woman of the group went viral on the Sina Weibo microblog. State media said the official, Lei Zhengfu, has been removed from his post and will face corruption charges.
Ten government officials and heads of state-owned enterprises were fired in January for their involvement in sex videos, Xinhua said.
