Blackmail videos
Mr Zhu has a lot to look forward to. He is preparing to
release four more sex tapes, also shot inside hotel rooms, clearly
showing Chongqing officials having relations with young girls.
All five videos were recorded as part of a blackmailing scheme by a crooked property developer in Chongqing.
The developer recruited attractive, young women between the ages of 18 and 20, paying them 300 yuan ($48, £30) each time the girls secretly recorded themselves having sex with prominent Chongqing officials.
The city's then-police chief, Wang Lijun, came to Mr Lei's rescue, raiding the developer's home and confiscating the videos. The property developer was jailed for a year and the young women were each detained for a month.
This year, Wang Lijun later starred in his own, separate corruption scandal, after offering US diplomats information on the Chongqing murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
Gu Kailai, the wife of the city's disgraced former party chief, Bo Xilai, was later convicted of that murder. Wang's related misdeeds landed him 15 years in prison.

If the girls failed to get a
clear view of the officials' faces on camera, they would be forced to
record more sex acts until the developer had the material he needed to
blackmail the city's bigwigs into giving him better deals.
The honeytrap scheme went belly-up when Lei Zhengfu, star of the first sex video, appealed to the Chongqing police for help. The city's then-police chief, Wang Lijun, came to Mr Lei's rescue, raiding the developer's home and confiscating the videos. The property developer was jailed for a year and the young women were each detained for a month.
