The three-minute video of the couple in their 20s was shot in September and uploaded to Youtube and Chinese video-sharing Web sites last week, Tuesday’s China Daily reported, citing a local newspaper.
I hope they win this lawsuit and people that have access to security camera footage will also be held individually responsible for shenanigans like this. I would be mortified to have my family sent videos of me engaging in PDA.
