EIGHT men aged from 20 to 40 who had homosexual group sex and were discovered by police naked in a hotel room were given detention or administrative penalties, Xuhui District People's Court said yesterday.

The group organizer, surnamed Wu, is a married man with a doctorate who had a child with his wife, officials said. He started to post information via QQ, an online chatting tool, to seek a gathering of gays in September. After video chats, Wu later selected seven men, authorities said.

On September 7, Wu booked a hotel room in Xuhui District and told the others. Wu played gay porn videos on his laptop computer and waited, records show. When the others arrived, they had a bath and had sex until the arrival of police, who had received a report about the meeting.

Wu charged each participant 50 yuan. He was sentenced to five months of administrative detention for organizing and engaging in the group sex. The others did not get detention but were given administrative penalties that were not disclosed for engaging in group sex.
