Exposed: Yunnan Schoolgirls Who Were Drugged and Forced into Prostitution Increases to Over 80

Summary: On the 3rd, it was exposed that dozens of schoolgirls at a middle school in Yunnan province Lincang city have been drugged and forced into prostitution. According to an insider, intermediary Xu X is a local powerful woman who forced schoolgirls into booked rooms to drink with customers, while drugging their drinks. Other information exposed claim the schoolgirls were given as gifts to government leaders for their use. At present, police have already launched an investigation.

Recently, an incident was exposed where it is suspected that dozens of schoolgirls at Minzu Middle School were drugged and forced into prostitution. An insider told thepaper.cn that the students were given to government leaders outside of the county as gifts for their use.

December 3rd, this thepaper.cn reporter contacted Principal Chen Hexin of the Minzu Middle School involved. He denied the prostitution but claimed there were indeed dozens of students who were taken out to pubs [restaurants, hotels] to eat, and that presently the local police have already launched an investigation. According to information from the Yun county government press office, at present, three female students have been discovered as having been sexually assaulted, two suspects have already been arrested, and the case is currently still under investigation.

On the 3rd, an insider local to Yun county told thepaper.cn that Yun county Minzu Middle School second year and third year [junior high] schoolgirls were tricked and coerced into prostitution, and were even given to leaders from outside the county as gifts for their use.

The insider also said the schoolgirls forced into prostitution were coerced by a female intermediary, that the female is surnamed Xu, under 30 years of age, and has done this multiple times. According to what the insider learned from a mother of a schoolgirl involved, Xu X first bribes several students while the rest who do not obey her are beaten. These students are usually invited to a KTV or pub [bar, restaurant, hotel] to dine and sing. “It’s said their drinks were drugged and, once drugged, they would be raped.”

The aforementioned mother claims her daughter narrowly escaped being [sexually] violated. According to the girl, over the past summer during a party she and several schoolmates held at a local KTV, they were forcibly taken to another booked room by Xu X.

According to her, “Because Xu X is rumored in school as having a lot of power/influence, when Xu X appeared, no one dared to disobey.” This schoolgirl also says they didn’t know who was waiting for them in the room they were being taken to, but they didn’t dare not go because “she (Xu X) is a powerful woman in Yun county, so how could we dare not obey?”

The aforementioned schoolgirl involved says there were approximately 20 male strangers in the booked room they were taken to, and Xu X demanded that the schoolgirls drink with them. At first, there were schoolgirls who were unwilling, but because they were afraid of Xu X, the schoolgirls ultimately drank. Fortunately for this schoolgirl, not long after she entered the room, she secretly contacted her family for help and was very quickly rescued from the premises and therefore did not suffer any violation.

Afterward, the aforementioned mother and daughter involved said they didn’t call the police because they were worried of being met with reprisals. According to them, “So many people have suffered this misfortune. This Xu X is really bad. I’ve heard some children in middle school say Xu X takes some children from the school and hands them over to those men to be violated. and then gives these middle school students 50 kuai or 100 kuai. Afterwards, these middle school students won’t say anything at home, so there are also a lot of parents who simply don’t know.

According to a Yunnan TV investigation, an employee of the KTV where the aforementioned incident occurred confirmed seeing Xu X taking students to the KTV. According to the employee, the student were all forcibly pulled in and out [taken to and from the KTV], that Xu X had previously engaged in such activities, and that this was not the only instance.

Among the 30 Minzu Middle School students Yunnan TV interviewed, three knew of the school’s female students being forcibly taken out and forced into prostitution.

One government employee insisting on anonymity told thepaper.cn that the story of over 80 schoolgirls being forcibly taken to a hotel for prostitution is very common, with some versions of the story saying it involves over 80 and others saying over 40. After the story leaked out, some parents of students at the school involved remain unclear about the truth and are all worried about whether their own daughters were involved. According to an insider, the local public security department [police] have also obtained a list of the schoolgirls suspected of having been forced into prostitution.

On December 3rd, thepaper.cn got in touch with Principal Chen Hexin of the Yun county Minzu Middle School involved. He denied that students were coerced into collective prostitution, claiming “it’s all community rumor-mongering, because if that many students were selling sex, what would our school be considered?”

According to him, the entire matter started with two students who ran away from home on November 2nd. That day, the school received reports from parents that their children had run away. Afterward, the school and police officers from the local police station collectively searched for them, until November 8th when the two students were found. After returning to school, teachers repeatedly inquired about their running away, and the two gave the account of having been taken out to eat and drink during the summer, probably involving over then schoolgirls, not the over 80 mentioned in rumors.

Additionally, Chen also denied the saying that the students were treated as gifts delivered out of the county for leaders to use. As for whether these students were forced into prostitution, he said the local police are already investigating.

With regards to the above incident, the Yun county Education Bureau also responded to the media stating that they will await the results of the official public security organ’s [police] investigation. Yun county Public Security Bureau Political Office Director Ma Wenhua told this thepaper.cn reporter that after the incident, the public security department entered the investigation, that the investigation is still going, that preliminary investigation has revealed that there were indeed three students who were sexually assaulted, though not as many as rumored. Additionally, they have arrested two suspects who at present are still being investigated and prosecuted.

青雷 [网易辽宁省沈阳市网友]：

Since they’re junior high schoolgirls who were also drugged, why are they still using the word “prostitution”?

[Note: This reflects a consistent complaint and argument that sexual relations with minors should automatically be considered statutory rape precluding any notion that they “sold sex”.]

懒得评论了 [网易辽宁省大连市网友]：

Young girls were forcibly abducted, drugged, and sexually assaulted. But the old men of the government call this being forced to sell sex?
Old men, this is clearly the rape of young girls [underage girls]!
As a father, I’m shaking with anger!

要哥威武 [网易江苏省无锡市网友]：

With something this shameless, those involved must be executed.

绝望的骆驼 [网易重庆市网友]：

First fasten the label of this being “prostitution”. This way, the government leaders are suddenly innocent of any crime. At worst, they just have to switch their government position to somewhere else.

Forced prostitution? Government leader, if I tie up your wife and rape her, then throw 200 kuai down, does that mean your wife was prostituting herself?

Yunnan Schoolgirls Forced into Prostitution Case: Leaders Previously Demanded It Be Covered Up As Long As Possible

On the morning of the 4th, The Paper （www.thepaper.cn） reported the incident exposing multiple students from a Yunnan province Lincang city Yun county middle school suspected of having been drugged and forced into prostitution. On the night of the 4th, the Yun county government press office issued a bulletin claiming that the case has already been solved. Early morning on November 21st, suspect Xu XX and Huang XX were respectively placed under house arrest and criminal detention by public security organs [police]. Li XX remains at large with public security organs currently doing everything they can to apprehend him.

The bulletin states that on November 20th of this year, the Yun county Public Security Bureau received a report from the public claiming that two female students at Yun county Minzu Middle School may have suffered sexual assault. Upon receiving the report, the Yun county Public Security Bureau immediately opened an investigation, and on the same night arrested two suspects, Xu XX and Huang XX.

Through investigation, the unemployed Yun county resident Xu XX (female, 21 years of age) used coercion and enticements to deliver three schoolgirls from the county’s Minzu Middle School to Huang XX and Li XX to have sexual relations.

The Paper‘s previous report indicated that an insider said Xu XX was the intermediary and had taken girls from the school out and forced them into prostitution, first bribing some students while beating the rest who would not comply with her arrangements. Some students who were coerced and feared her “powerful woman” reputation locally in Yun county “did not dare disobey her.” According to CNR news, Yunnan TV, and other media reports, Xu X often convened students at the fast-food restaurant in front of the school gate to smoke and drink, and would gather taxis at night to come pick up the students.

As for just when students began being coerced into prostitution, the relevant information remains filled with uncertainty. A local insider claims students being forced into prostitution has already gone on for two to three years, but according to the school’s students, it was during summer vacation of this year that multiple students were taken to a KTV to eat and drink alcohol. However, official reports claim the earliest they learned of this was November 20th when they received a report from the public.

On the afternoon of the 4th, when The Paper interviewed the Yun county Education Bureau about the above matter, one of the bureau office workers said as early as August this year, there were widespread rumors of multiple junior high students at the aforementioned middle school being coerced into selling sex, but “local government leaders continuously wanted to cover up this matter for as long as possible”. When local media previously investigated the matter, “(government leaders) told us to avoid it, forbidding us from telling the truth.” However, the other side did not disclose who was ordering this. A Yun county individual in the media told The Paper that upon hearing rumors of students being coerced into prostitution, local journalists investigated, but the relevant news stories were ultimately not published.

[Handling problems by] Covering it up as long as possible… is a common understanding now [among government wrongdoing]!

慎为 [网易山东省日照市网友]：

Still using the word “prostitution”. The severity of this incident is thus directly lowered several levels. These government leaders are hopeless.

“Cover it up for as long as possible”, government leaders speaking honestly. The good of Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and Euro-American society, the more people see, the more they understand, and will soon awaken.

No need to cover it up, it’s okay, the government leaders merely spent a night in a brothel, and there was no rape.

相当的无语 [网易广东省东莞市网友]：

“used coercion and enticements to deliver three schoolgirls from the county’s Minzu Middle School to Huang XX and Li XX to have sexual relations.” Isn’t this rape? Rape means going to jail, while visiting prostitutes just means a fine. Calling rape “being forced into prostitution” is to intentionally side with the government leaders, to connive with them, and the children of those siding with them will sooner or later be forced into prostitution. Those who want rapists to go to jail, ding. You and I also have children, and those of you who see this and don’t ding, you children and grandchildren will also be forced into prostitution!!!

This woman is an idiot: She thinks just because she’s been a pimp for some government leaders or has herself slept with some government leader, she thinks she’s impressive now. To be frankly, she’s just a whore herself…

Just wait for your bullet, as those government leaders aren’t going to let you live…
