VietNamNet Bridge – Four people implicated in the Hoang Thuy Linh sex-clip scandal received suspended sentences of between 20 to 30 months at the Ha Noi People's Court yesterday.
Four people implicated in the Hoang Thuy Linh sex-clip scandal.
College students Nguyen Huu Tai, 24, Vo Thanh Hiep, 26, Nguyen Thu Linh, 22 and Vu Thi Thuy Linh, 22, were charged with "dispersing illicit materials" (the sex-video of now 20-year-old actress Thuy Linh and her then boyfriend Vu Hoang Viet) last October. 
The sex clip, which the actress and her boyfriend recorded in July 2007, was found by a friend of Viet on his laptop in August. On October 16 it reached Tai, who posted the clip on his website and sent links to the three other defendants.
The court said the four accused had not sent the clip with commercial purposes but on impulse and had co-operated well with the police investigation.
This is the first time defendants have appeared in a Vietnamese court for posting information of a sexual nature on the internet.
