Hong Kong police arrest 21 men, including a private tutor, for alleged possession and sharing of child pornography and indecent upskirt images. Officers say the suspects, aged 19 to 47, are linked to a social media group used to exchange illegal material.
Police state they uncover the material through the chat group, which contains child pornography that can be downloaded, as well as upskirt images taken in public places such as public transport and shopping centres. One outlet reports officers also accuse some arrestees of surreptitiously filming students during classes, while another focuses on the allegation that members produced and shared indecent images of children through social media platforms.
Authorities do not indicate the specific outcome of investigations in the reports provided, including whether any of the suspects are formally charged or how evidence links each person to the images. The arrests are framed by police as part of an investigation into online distribution and collection of child sexual exploitation material.
