UK Envoy, James Hudson, Resigns Over Russian Sex Tape

The Times Online reports that a British diplomat has resigned from his post in Russia after a video was discovered showing him having sex with two prostitutes. James Hodson, the envoy, served as deputy consul general in Ekaterinburg in the Urals.

The video was posted on a Russian news site under the headline, "Adventures of Mr Hudson in Russia."

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

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

The Daily Mail has more juicy details of the video, describing the envoy's foreplay with the prostitutes.

He opens a bottle of champagne and is then shown sprawled on the sofa alongside one woman, whom he kisses, while another prostitute lies back across his lap, writhing in her lingerie.

As one woman dances away across the room, the other kneels in front of him and asks in a strong Russian accent: 'Would you like it?'

Those wacky Brits!

of course this was a setup.
In the 50s..,60s.., 70s..,80s..., KGB agents did seduce diplomats and then KGB did tape , film everything.
The next move was to blackmail the diplomat .
KGB would contact diplomat saying they had tapes.
Next they would ask information.
In case diplomat does not give the information the KGB would make public all the photos they had.
It seems to me the new russian secret service is using the same trick.
They did film the sexual behaviour of the diplomat..., they blackmailed him.. , but he choose not to become a russian spy.
FSB ( the new KGB ) did what they were supoosed to do : They spread the compromising files all over the world.

The new, modern KGB with one lumen digital video. Some time back there was the story that they tried to compromise Indonesia's leader Sukarno. Multiple partner explicit major congress, all captured on film. After showing the guy what they had on him, they were about to put the squeeze on, when he asks with a happy enthusiasm, "Can I have some copies of that, I want to show my wives what a real man they have."

I heard they titled the movie "Mr Hudson Goes to Russia".

[paulalex]

Yeah they still have a thing called honor in the Old World, unlike the crooked upstarts in the USA.

[NEANDERTHALL]

So bloody what? I don't see what the crime is...

Z2a, that was funny!! James Bond indeed.

[repugnicansfearme]

Ah, the Brits. A laughingstock of diplomacy/law enforcemen­t/intellig­ence for the last 50 years.

From Russia with love? Sorry, no love. From Russia with sex.
These female Russian prostitutes could be ex-KGB agents.

Those Russian Mail-Order-Brides could be KGB sleeper cells infiltrating the bedrooms of western government officials. These Russian women could make western men disclose all government secrets just by opening their legs.

If only the Governor from S.C. and Senator Ensign did the same......... resign.

Are you suggesting there's video on those guys? We've got "Drunken Hiking In the Urals" but no video even on Larry Craig's "Staking Out the Urinals".

[Krishnamurthi Ramachandran]

After reading of this sex actions by a top English envoy had made us to think twice of these high ranking officers personal weakness.
Now, media is happy to read,write,and for more circulations and more for comments.
Regret to say that ,media networks are showing more interests to these episodes than so many important burning issues in and around the world.
We will also enjoy for quick gossiping.

[BARRISTER]

why is sex a "personal weakness"? Without your parents' "personal weakness" there would be no you sir!

[Peter42y]

i could not agree with another commentator : Sex is not a weakness. Sex is what has kept human race alive througout the ages.
If it were not for sex.., we would not be here

[opticsopen]

Hudson on the Moscow.

[Jeremy Davis]

Well, duh!! Why else would someone be an envoy in Russia if they couldn't bang all the hot Russian prostitutes?!

[KIVPossum]

My thoughts, isn't that considered part of the benefits package?

And why go to a brothel. As a frequent traveler to Russia I know that a high percentage of women you will meet on the street, cafes, or restaurants will be receptive if the offer is presented properly. For Russian women accepting financial ';presents'; for sex is not a problem.

[anito]

Your generalisation is makes you look really foolish. I travel often on business trips to Russia and I can assure you it is not more common than in the US.

[BannedNBoston]

Good he resigned
