It is this type of photographers that give the Photography Industry a bad name and young aspiring models should take note in being aware of these guys. Always check the credential of the photographer you intend to work with, talk to friends and inform them if you intend to work with them as the modus operandi of these guys are just that, use photography as a lure with ill intention. Here’s the report in english as best translated from the original source of the report.

Interested in becoming a professional model with a higher income, 15 girls got duped by a photographer disguised as a talent scout into having sex with him since early this year.

The man in his 30′s and poses himself as a talent scout attached to a prominent talent agency ‘lure’ the victims through social networking site by offering lucrative amount of money to pose in front of the camera.

Recently, two students aged 18 and 19 years fell victim to the man and subsequently made their respective police reports at the Dang Wangi police station here Wednesday.

Recounting the incident, police sources said, in the event at 2 pm, 30 October, the two victims who knew the man through a social chat request was asked to head to the seventh floor of a hotel in the city for auditions.

Both victims were interested in becoming a professional model undoubtedly go to the audition separately. Upon arriving in a room at the hotel which allegedly used for the auditions, the suspect ordered the victims to strip before getting their photos taken.

This sound like someone quite a lot of us know. Wonder what will happen or will this guy be exposed.

Snake Dies After Attack On Model’s Breast

Posted By Michael Yip / March, 16, 2011 / 0 comments

According to The Daily Mail, Israeli model Orit Fox got more than she bargained for when the massive boa constrictor took objection to her over familiarity and reacted by biting into her breast. However, it was the snake who came off worse because, while Ms Fox need a tetanus shot in hospital, the reptile later died from silicone poisoning.

Now, I’m just wondering as I don’t know anyone with Silicon boobies, since the snake bit into Orit’s breast, shouldn’t the Silicon implant burst from the snake’s bite? All she get is a Tetanus shot and nothing more? But then a Boa Constrictor’s have tiny teeth, could they even pierce her skin? I think most likely they put the snake down after it attacked her and just have this story as a cover. What do you think?
