China jails adult website workers

Eleven Chinese citizens have been jailed up to 12 years for running an adult site that offered customers erotic photos, videos, stories, chat rooms and escort information - all content that is perfectly legal in democratic countries. The government claimed that this was the largest Internet porn prosecution in the country�s history and the largest case so far in China's crackdown on Internet porn, which commenced last July.
