Eight other organizers of "Pornographic Summer" were sentenced to prison terms of between 13 months and 10 years Wednesday, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

Except for one man who was aged over 50, the average age of the group was just 23, with ringleader Chen Hui 28 years old, Xinhua said.

"Pornographic Summer", which was set up in 2004, and three other smaller websites Chen established since then attracted 600,000 members across China, according to Xinhua.

The first 200,000 registered members did not have to pay any fees, but the others had to pay between 199 and 266 yuan (25 and 33 dollars) to join.

A "top-level VIP membership" cost 3,999 yuan, while advertising space sold for between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan.

The websites were closed in October last year after investigators followed a lead where Chen and his group converted a hospital website into a pornographic one, Xinhua said.

A court in China's northern Shanxi province sentenced them to their jail terms on Wednesday.
