在一些女学生通过提供裸照作为交换,在互联网借贷平台上获取高息贷款之后,近日又有大批裸照被泄露在了互联网上。
A number of nude photographs have been leaked online after several female students offered the photos in exchange for high-interest loans via an online lending platform.
目前已经被泄露的照片多达10个G。据《北京日报》12月1日报道,著名在线P2P借贷平台"借贷宝"也和此次事件有关。
Around 10 gigabytes of photos have allegedly been released. Jiedaibao, a popular online peer-to-peer lending platform, is involved in the incident, the Beijing Times reported on Dec. 1.
据报道显示,一些贷款机构一直在利用借贷宝向女大学生提供高息贷款,条件是贷款人必须提供持有身份证拍摄的裸照作为抵押。
According to the report, some lenders have been using the platform to offer female college students high-interest loans on the condition that the borrowers hand over nude photos of themselves holding their ID cards as collateral.
据悉,大多数借款的女性年龄都在19到23岁之间。
Most female participants were between 19 and 23.
贷款的条件不仅仅只局限于裸照。同样被泄露的还有大量疑似借贷双方对话的屏幕截图,一个贷款人要求女学生提供自己的自慰视频。
The lending conditions were not limited to nude pictures. Also leaked were a number of screenshots of supposed dialogues between the borrowers and lenders, with one lender demanding that the female students deliver a video of herself masturbating.
截止发稿时为止,在中国社交媒体上仍然能够找到一些被泄露的照片和视频。
Some of the leaked photos and videos can still be found on Chinese social media as of press time.
为回应这起事件,借贷宝12月1日在其新浪微博上发表了一份公告,强调用裸照作抵押贷款是用户之间的私人交易,该公司无法加以管理。
In response to the incident, Jiedaibao made an announcement on its Sina Weibo on Dec. 1, stressing that the use of nude pictures as collateral for loans constitutes a private deal between users, which the company cannot regulate.
公告宣称:"我们已经报警,并且收集了证据来维护公司的声誉。而那些泄露裸照的人将被按照法律惩处。"
"We have called the police and collected evidence to protect the company's reputation. Those who leaked the nude pictures will be punished according to law," the announcement read.
互联网P2P借贷平台在中国发展迅猛,但随之而来的是众多的诈骗案件。
Online peer-to-peer lending platforms have expanded rapidly in China, along with fraud cases.
据新华社今年二月报道,互联网借贷公司"易租宝"之前通过一个巨大的庞氏骗局,从大约90万投资人那里骗取了超过500亿人民币的资金。
Online peer-to-peer broker Ezubao previously cheated about 900,000 investors out of more than 50 billion RMB through a giant Ponzi scheme, the Xinhua News Agency reported in February.
