  • 6 arrested for luring schoolgirls into prostitution

    SIX people have been arrested for allegedly recruiting schoolgirls as prostitutes in Yongkang City, east China's Zhejiang Province, Qianjiang Evening News reported.
    The crime was discovered in February but local police declined to provide details as their investigation is ongoing, the paper said.
    Early speculations indicate more than 20 girls, including underage teens from three schools, were seduced into prostitution and became mistresses of several rich businessmen in the city. But local police didn't confirm this.
    The head of the prostitution ring, surnamed Chen, was sentenced to three years last August for providing prostitution venues and was freed on a parole later.
