Shock vid of boss’s ‘sex romp on boardroom table’ is FAKE NEWS with two workers arrested for ‘false rumours’

THE shock video of a boss and junior colleague romping on a boardroom table has been debunked as fake news with two workers arrested for the "false rumours".

The suspects face defamation charges as well as further punishment for spreading the rumours after they allegedly shared the footage.

The pair, a man surnamed Tang and a woman surnamed Wang, were arrested on March 13 after police were made aware of the viral video.

Information shared with the clip claimed the couple involved were a senior manager at China Southern Power Grid’s Guangzhou headquarters, as well as a female staff member who worked under him.

The post, which even featured a picture circling the two allegedly involved, claimed the manager had left the camera on following a conference call, with the office romp then recorded by another colleague.

China Southern Power Grid, which is one of two state-owned power providers, is pressing charges against Tang and Wang, both 30, who have since admitted to spreading the rumours online.

Tang, however, was quoted as saying he "heard rumours" of a sex scandal at their Guangzhou office but did not reveal where he obtained the footage used to illustrate it.

It currently cannot be confirmed who the people in the footage actually are.

Wang told the police that she "further dramatised" the rumours and shared them to major web forums online.

The clip has since been scrubbed from Chinese social media sites by censors.

The case as well as the origin of the footage is still under investigation.

As a result of the candid clip, the phrases "Southern Power Grid" and "Use Love to Make Power" have become two of the most blocked terms on the Chinese social media site Weibo.
