Brothels in Hong Kong are turning customers into unwitting porn movie stars by filming their antics on secret cameras, a news report said on Thursday.
Sophisticated pinhole surveillance cameras have been found in raids on brothels in the city’s Mongkok red-light district, the South China Morning Post reported.
Police believe the cameras may have been used to film secretly customers having sex with prostitutes, for movies sold on the underground pornographic film market.
Chief Inspector Vincent Cheng, who led the raids, told the newspaper that officers were checking confiscated film cassettes to see if they included footage of clients.
More than 200 people, most of them prostitutes from mainland China, were arrested in a series of raids by police on brothels in Mongkok operated by two crime syndicates.
Thousands of women from relatively poor southern China are arrested for vice-related offences in Hong Kong every year. Most are charged with working on tourist or visitor visas. — Sapa-DPA
