MALAYSIA ARRESTS 70 GAYS

Seventy men, some foreigners, have been arrested by Malaysian police following raids on a number of gay parties on Saturday in George Town, the capital of the state of Penang.

The police were said to be conducting a blitz on illegal activities in the area when they came across the parties which were being held at a massage parlour and three fitness centres.

According to reports, some of the allegedly sex parties were in full swing when they were raided, with a number of the participants being literally caught with their pants down.

Police claim that they also found pornography, sex toys and condoms in the venues.

The arrested men included Americans, Europeans and a Chinese national and are between the ages of 20 and 40.

They were questioned at police headquarters and were later released on bail. They will be charged with gross indecency while the venue owners will face vice charges.

In November last year, two foreigners – a British man and a Chinese national – were among 37 men arrested in a raid on an alleged sex party at a fitness centre in northern Penang Island.
