A former CCTV presenter was found guilty by a British court last week for owning more than 800 “extreme” pornographic videos, London-based tabloid The Sun reported last Tuesday.
Sen Luo, 40, was charged with two counts of possessing extreme pornography after police found 800 videos on his laptop and hard-drives.  
London police said some of the videos reportedly included footage of women and animals being tortured. According to BBC news, police stumbled across the case accidentally “during an unrelated fraud inquiry”.

Luo claimed the collection was being used as “research material” for a “Sex and the City-style book” he was writing. 

Luo will be sentenced next month and could face jail time of up to three years.
