It wasn’t my porn, honest

Hehe. Man brings porn DVDs into Singapore, kena caught by Customs, ends up in jail, and finally gets the charges dropped when his brother in the US declares them as his.

The Straits Times newspaper said Singapore state prosecutors had dropped charges of possessing uncertified and obscene films against Tran Nghia Hong after he presented them with a declaration by his brother, stating that he was missing “certain DVDs.”

The films, found by Singapore customs officers in a shipment of his belongings from California, included titles such as “Frivolous Lola,” “Copulation Nation” and “Lord of the Strings”.

Titles for porn videos are hilarious. What happens if you kena caught for bringing in pirated porn DVDs? Does your brother then leave you high and dry because he will get in trouble for buying illegally copied media products?
