Hong Kong police have charged a primary schoolteacher over child pornography after finding pictures and videos on his mobile phone from at least seven young girls he lured into taking indecent photos in exchange for online game weapons.

The 37-year-old man from a Sham Shui Po school was arrested in Ngau Tau Kok on Friday morning after police received a report early last month from a mother of one of the alleged victims, an eight-year-old girl. The mother told authorities her daughter had sent indecent photos to a man she met through an online game in August in exchange for virtual weapons.
