Some were discovered by their wives.
Recently, the story of China’s “Uncle Red” has made international headlines.
On July 5, police in Nanjing, China, shared that they arrested a 38-year-old man, last name Jiao, for spreading obscene material. The mainland media reported that Jiao, who has been nicknamed “Uncle Red”, installed a hidden camera in his home and filmed himself having sex with male visitors while pretending to be a woman.
These visitors would not be charged for sex but were asked to bring small gifts like fruit or milk.
Jiao then shared the video footage in an online group and profited from a membership fee of 150 yuan (US$21) per person to join the group.
Attention was brought to the case when some men recognized themselves in images. Several men were also recognized by their friends and families, including some already married or in committed relationships.
Jiao managed the feat by wearing long skirts, using heavy make-up, and disguising his voice. He claims to have had sexual encounters with over 1,691 men, a number police claim is exaggerated.
In China, spreading obscene material carries a sentence of up to two years. It was also mentioned that if Jiao knowingly spread a sexually transmitted infection, he could be punished with anywhere from 3 to 10 years in prison.
