A private video of a couple was recorded by a hidden camera in a hotel in China and leaked on a porn site. He suffered deep mental trauma due to this incident. It highlights the growing threat of spy-cam porn in China, where such videos are sold online.
Beijing: A boy has revealed that while searching for videos on a porn site, he found his own video. This video was of a hotel room in China which was leaked. The boy told that this incident caused a lot of mental stress to him and his girlfriend. She watched a video in which they entered the room, placed their bags and then had sex. He immediately understood that this video was of him. The boy told that three weeks ago he had stayed in a hotel in Shenzhen, South China.
The boy says that a hidden camera in the hotel room recorded the private moments of him and his girlfriend and later it came on porn sites. When he told his girlfriend about this, she thought he was joking. But when she saw the video herself, she became very sad. After this both of them did not talk for several months. The girl was also afraid that her co-workers and family members might have seen the clip. Spy-cam porn has been in high demand in China for the past decade.
Cameras are installed in small things like pencil erasers in such a way that no one gets suspicious. The BBC World Service had discovered thousands of spy-cam videos shot in hotel rooms and sold on several sites. Most of the content is advertised on the messaging and social media app Telegram. Within 18 months, six different websites and apps were found to be promoted on Telegram.
