Chinese couple detained for five days after taking nude photos on children’s amusement park ride
- Man and woman shot pornographic images and videos and shared them on social media as part of publicity stunt, park operators say
- The Nanning pair may also find themselves facing legal action
A man and woman from southern China who took pornographic photos and videos at a children’s amusement park on New Year’s Eve and published them online were given five days in detention, authorities said on Monday.
The 31-year-old photographer and his 20-year-old model went aboard the Parachute Drop, a 19-metre (62 feet)-high ride at Fengling Children’s Park at Nanning in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, local police and park officials said.
They shot images and shared them on their social media accounts in what the park believed was a publicity stunt.
Police said the man, identified by his surname Xue, and the woman, surnamed Zhang, were called for interrogation on Sunday after a complaint about their behaviour was made.
Each was given a five-day detention – Zhang for exposing herself and Xue for publishing pornography online, a police statement said.
