A university in central China’s Hunan province expelled one of its distinguished (xuất sắc) students Tuesday after he was accused of manipulating women’s photos and videos from his social media to make and sell pornographic (khiêu dâm) content online.

He Runcheng, an undergraduate student at the University of South China, reportedly used Photoshop and “deepfake” technology to produce pornographic content from photos from his WeChat feed

The student, who had won several scholarships, a national innovation competition, and authored multiple research papers (tác giả của nhiều bài báo khoa học/công trình nghiên cứu), had been selling such content through Twitter in the past three years.

“The school is currently cooperating with the public security authorities to carry out investigations,”

Pornography is banned in China, and selling and distributing such content can be punished by up to 10 years in prison and fines, as well as life imprisonment for severe cases. Despite this, in recent years, the practice of stealing other people’s images and manipulating them for revenge porn or to abuse others has flourished online.

In 2020, the country’s anti-porn office cracked down on several websites that were selling sexually explicit content of minors, similar to the “Nth room” chatrooms in South Korea.
