TAIPEI, Taiwan, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- A Taiwan exhibitionist risked arrest by posing in the buff at a transit station and on a commuter train for an online nude photo club, authorities said.

The photos posted to the BeautyCLUB website, which has about 4,000 members, feature an unidentified woman posing nude at Taipei's Xianse Temple Station and on a Xinzhuang Line commuter train.

Taipei police warned public nudity can carry a $200 fine and Taipei Rapid Transit Corp said passengers who disrupt the public order can be asked to leave or escorted from facilities by police.

However, Taipei Rapid Transit Corp said it has not received any complaints about a nude woman posing at its facilities or on trains.

BeautyCLUB is accessible only by registered members, and those who wish to gain access must submit publicly-taken nude photos of themselves or their partners. The website said its next targets for public nude photography are airplanes and classrooms where classes are in session.
