Diplomat Resigns Over Prostitute Sex Video

A British diplomat in Russia has resigned after a video allegedly showing him having sex with two prostitutes was posted on the internet.

James Hudson, 37, stood down as deputy consul general in Ekaterinburg in the Urals.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) confirmed he had resigned but refused to comment on whether it was him in the video.

A link to the film, which lasts four minutes and 18 seconds, was posted on a Russian news website under the title Adventures Of Mr Hudson In Russia.

It shows a man wearing glasses enter a room – reportedly in a brothel – and sit on a sofa, drinking, and kissing two blonde women in their underwear.

The video then cuts to explicit scenes of all three having sex.

It has been suggested the film was made by agents from Russia’s FSB security service – the successor to the KGB – in order to leave Mr Hudson vulnerable to blackmail.
