Chen Jiong, Li Jia Wen, Li Tian Wen and Huang Zhong were busted by Lai Chau police on Wednesday instructing a group of men and women, including teenagers, to perform sexual acts and livestream them on the Chinese application QQLive at the hotel.

Six others were also arrested to be investigated for distributing pornographic material, including Vietnamese Nguyen Huu Van and Le Hoai Bao Chung.

In the room at the time, there were four girls present, aged 14-17. The police also seized several mobile phones, tools for livestreaming, masks and condoms at the scene, among other paraphernalia.

Van said that earlier this month, he invited a man named Do Xuan Phuong, along with Chung, to make money via pornographic livestreaming on QQLive.

Van persuaded a 19-year-old girl to make porn for VND200,000 ($7.85) an hour. As she was pregnant, Van tasked her with providing makeup, supporting the livestream and cleaning up the room.

Van then found a couple who were willing to make porn for VND25 million a month. Another couple also joined in for VND200,000 an hour.

Chung was tasked with instructing the couples on how to perform sexual acts for livestreaming. From May 24 to May 26, Van and Chung were transferred over VND1.3 million by the application’s manager.

On May 27, Chung and Van invited four Chinese people to organize the livestreaming, with the session’s profit being split among them.

The Chinese men then brought equipment and instructed the couples on how to perform certain sex acts.

At 8 p.m., while they were in the middle of a session, they were busted by the police.
