Police break up porn Website group

POLICE in Jiangsu Province have broken up a pornographic Website ring that had 12 million registered members.

Thirteen suspects including the ring leader surnamed Shen were caught and the group's 13 pornographic Websites were shut down yesterday, Jiangsu police said.

The organization rented 14 servers in the United States and is one of the three overseas mandarin pornographic Website groups that poisoned Chinese netizens, according to Xinhua News Agency.

Police found a suspect in Sihong County of Jiangsu Province, who allegedly managed a Website called "Heaven for the Lost Girl" in April this year.

During the investigation, police found little information was left on those Websites about the founder of the sites. He just left two ICBC accounts for people to pay money to become members of the sites, the report said.

Police also found the ring leader withdrew more than 300,000 yuan (US$44,118) from those accounts through ATM machines in Chongqing and Qinghuangdao in Hebei Province this year.

Although Shen used foreign servers to log onto the online bank, police managed to trace a Beijing IP address he once used in January and caught him in the capital.

Six computers, 25 bank cards and a car were seized also.

Police said Shen set up 13 pornographic Websites in 2007, hired more than 300 people to manage the sites and earned more than 750,000 yuan from membership fees.
