December 14, 2004
Beijing - Porn web site operators stood on trial in four district courts in
Guangzhou on Monday on charges of spreading pornographic material on the
Internet.
Guo Zande, a native of Yuexiu District, was sentenced to three years and six
months and fined 5,000 yuan (US$604) for spreading pornographic material and
blackmail.
Pan Lijin, Guo’s wife, was sentenced to one year and six months and fined 2,000
yuan.
A verdict by the Yuexiu District People’s Court said Guo and Pan established a
Web site in June this year and provided pornographic video downloads, charging
members a 30-yuan monthly subscription fee. The couple earned 3,427 yuan from
the service.
The Liwan District Court ruled Tang Hongping, a Hubei native, provided online
pornographic photos and novels when he worked as a Web site administrator in
Guangzhou. Tang was sentenced to one year in prison.
He Shitong received a two-year sentence and was fined 5,000 yuan in a verdict
handed down by the Tianhe District People’s Court. The verdict said He earned
commissions for running an online escort service between January and August
this year.
They were the city’s largest joint sentences simultaneously awarded by
district-level people’s courts and reflected the government’s determination to
fight Internet pornography. - Shenzen Daily
