Perugia (Italy), May 25 (IANS/AKI) A Hungarian porn star has been arrested in central Italy after being accused of performing obscene acts on stage in the presence of minors.

Brigitta Kocsis, a 27-year-old blonde, performs under the stage name of Brigitta Bulgari.

Paramilitary Carabinieri police arrested Kocsis at a club outside the northern city of Treviso for a stage act she performed at a nightclub in Fossato di Vico in the province of Perugia in February.

Investigators have accused the porn star of performing obscene acts in the presence of minors, some of whom were believed to be under the age of 16.

Perugia prosecutors issued arrest warrants and police arrested Kocsis in Montebelluna, 60 km north of Venice, and she is being held in a local prison in Belluno.

Police were alerted to the act after photographs and comments were uploaded by several users on the Internet sharing site, Facebook, by several youths reportedly aged 16 and 18.
