Rihanna’s sex show tweets see bar owner held

Thai authorities have arrested a bar owner in connection with a lewd sex show mentioned in racy tweets by pop star Rihanna during her recent trip to Thailand, two weeks after an Instagram photo of Rihanna with a protected primate led to the arrest of two men.

Officials on the island of Phuket, 680km south of Bangkok, said the bar owner faced charges of obscenity and operating an entertainment venue without a permit.

Local district chief Weera Kerdsirimongkon said the man was arrested as part of a crackdown on shows featuring naked dancers.
