NANJING, CHINA — A 38-year-old man in Nanjing, known online as “Sister Hong” (also referred to as “Uncle Red”), has been arrested in a shocking criminal case that has rocked social media and sparked nationwide outrage in China.
The man, identified by the surname Jiao, is accused of using elaborate disguises—including wigs, makeup, and women’s clothing—to pose as a woman and lure hundreds of men into sexual encounters. He reportedly met victims through dating apps and online platforms, drawing in a wide range of individuals including students, professionals, and foreign nationals.
According to Nanjing police, Jiao invited the men to his home, where he secretly recorded the encounters using hidden cameras. In some cases, he altered his voice to deepen the deception.
The resulting videos were then sold online via private groups, where subscribers paid 150 yuan (approximately $21 USD) for access. The illicit distribution generated significant profits, though authorities have not disclosed the exact amount.
Public outrage intensified as details of the case emerged, with many calling for stricter controls on digital content and enhanced protections against online fraud. Chinese authorities have begun removing the videos and have offered free health screenings to those who may have been exposed.
The case has also ignited broader conversations around online safety, identity deception, and personal privacy in China’s increasingly digital social environment.
