[The following is a translated transcript of a report by CCTV news program 1+1.]
November 20th, screenshots of what was suspected a sex video involving Chongqing Beibei district Party Secretary/Chief Lei Zhengfu were posted on Sina Weibo [China's popular microblogging service similar to Twitter]. On the 21st, the relevant government departments stated that they have taken note of this matter and have begun verifying it. On the 22nd, the relevant government departments confirmed that the relevant video was not a PS [digitally altered], and are continuing to verify the identities of the persons involved. At 11am n the 23rd, the Chongqing Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission confirmed that the man in the indecent video was indeed Lei Zhengfu himself, and announced removing him from his Party Chief post, as well as initiating an investigation. One netizen remarked that within 63 hours, a departmental-level government official has been taken down by weibo, with public opinion in an uproar.
November 20th, an article titled “Chongqing Beibei district Party Chief Lei Zhengfu’s Sex Video” went viral online, with many screen captures of the video attached. The man and woman in the images were completely naked, the man’s face clear and distinct. The article claimed: These are screenshots from a video of Chongqing Beibei district Party Chief Lei Zhengfu having sex with his long-term 18-year-old mistress in a hotel.
One of the people who exposed the scandal was Ji Xuguang, whose verified Sina Weibo account indicates he is a veteran journalist. From November 20th to today, he has posted a total of 30 microblog posts concerning this scandal. He denounced claiming: On the first and third day of the new 2007 lunar year, [Lei Zhengfu] was at a Chongqing hotel, engaging in promiscuity with his 18-year-old mistress. Through the spread of these articles, images, and video, [Lei Zhengfu] has become famous on the internet, with the media and reporters all trying to contact the persons involved.
November 21st, a media journalist interviewed Lei Zhengfu himself over the telephone, and his response was to say “those are fake, don’t believe them.” On the very same day, the official microblog account of the Chongqing Municipal People’s Government Information Office published a post indicating that it has already taken note of the matter and is currently investigating it. On the 23rd, the Chongqing Municipal People’s Government Information Office published a microblog post saying it has been investigated and verified by the Chongqing Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission. The male in the indecent video that has recently been circulating on the internet is Beibei district Party Chief Lei Zhengfu. The Chongqing Municipal Committee has decided to relieve comrade Lei Zhengfu of his Beibei district Party Chief position and has formally opened a case investigating him.
