Brit Envoy Quits Russia After Hooker Video
Senior British diplomat James Hudson is shown with two hookers in a video that was posted on a Urals news site.

A senior British diplomat was forced to resign his post in Russia after a video of him canoodling with two prostitutes was posted on the Internet, reports the Daily Mail. British officials were livid about the scandal, but also angrily accused Russian officials of a sting. The 4-minute video, called The Adventures of Mr. Hudson in Russia, was posted on a Urals new site, and shows Deputy Consul General James Hudson, 37, having sex with both women.

"Russian intelligence has a long history of making sex films and taking compromising photos to control people or further its aims," a security source told the Sun. (More Russia stories.)
