An
illegal immigrant who sold copied porn films in a pub has been jailed.
Zheng-nan Lin was spotted by police taking a large bag into the Fox
Tavern in Gosport, on June 20. The officers followed him in and
confronted him but Lin ran off. He was caught, not far from the pub.
When police checked the bag of 237 DVDs they were found to include 37
pornographic films, three of which were said to be illegal extreme
pornography.
Lin, of Peckham, London, told police he had bought the films from a
man in London for 70p each and was going to sell them on in Gosport for
between £1 and £1.50. Lin had previously been jailed for 16 weeks at
Sussex Magistrates' Court in March last year for selling fake DVDs.
But Portsmouth Crown Court Judge Ian Pearson said it was a mystery
why Lin had not been deported afterwards. In sentencing the Chinese
national to 32 weeks in prison, Judge Pearson said Lin would be sent
home at the end of his jail term.
I accept that you are at the very bottom of the chain of people
dealing with DVDs of this nature but nevertheless these offences are so
serious they pass the custody threshold, he said. I'm going to
impose the shortest possible sentence because there after you should be
deported. Indeed it's a puzzle as to why you were not deported having
been released from custody last year.
The judge ordered the DVDs be destroyed.

porn). It is also another case where charges have been brought in
respect of material depicting bestiality: in court, police stated that
they had found 33 illegal obscene images of animal and human
intercourse.
