I find the wording of the article to be remarkable. “At the opposite end of the supply chain.”
Eric (not his real name) was no longer just a consumer of China’s spy-cam porn industry, but a victim.
A “consumer” who has admittedly been watching this type of “spy cam” footage for twenty years (since he was a teen, according to the article) and never once thought “wait, what if that was me?”
Then when he grows a conscience in his thirties he contacts the BBC.
On one hand, the reason the story exists is because he did, takes someone who looks for that shit to realize they’re in it. So that explains why the BBC published a story about that particular individual.
If the guy himself believes this is some kind of redemption arc, though, tough luck. Statistically, imagine how much of the stuff he must have watched to find the one he was starring in.

“Oh shit, I’m in one, now it’s disgusting!”
