BEIJING, Feb. 5 (Chinese media) -- Chinese police have
detained a 21-year-old man for involvement of spreading pornographic and "lewd"
material through the Internet.
The man, surnamed Chen, allegedly created the website
titled "luanlunshunu" (incestuous mature woman) in Dongguan City, Guangdong
Province, in August last year, said the office for cracking down on online porn
and lewd content.
When he was seized in early January, police found
erotic pictures, pornographic movies and articles on the website, said an office
official.
Chen, a native of Anxi County of Quanzhou City in
southeast Fujian Province, is alleged to have confessed to the crimes and is in
custody.
Under China's Criminal Law, the distribution of
pornographic and obscene publications, videos, and articles for non-profit use
can carry a jail term of up to two years.
"Lewd" content includes violence, libel, private and
other information that violates standards of public decency.
The office operates under seven government
departments, including the State Council's Information Office and the ministries
of public security and culture, which jointly launched a nationwide campaign to
eradicate obscene contents in January
As of Tuesday, officials had blocked 1,575
pornographic sites and detained 41 people.
On Jan. 15, police in Xiamen City of Fujian
Province arrested 16 people suspected of offering online pornographic chat
services and performances.
