Explicit clips and images of teens having sex and posing half-naked sparks Hong Kong police probe after they are circulated online

Several video clips showing teenage boys and girls having sexual intercourse or performing other sex acts have circulated online since Wednesday. There were also at least dozens of photos of a different girl wearing a secondary school uniform flashing her body parts.

Some of those in the footage, which appeared to have been filmed in at least one flat, were also wearing school uniforms.

Police said they were investigating the matter after receiving a complaint about the publication of inappropriate video clips and photographs involving children.

“The cyber world is not a virtual space not bound by the law. Under the existing laws, most of the ordinances targeting crime prevention in the real world will also apply online,” a police spokesman said.
