Beijing's Xicheng Court sentenced over 30 defendants to prison terms ranging from 1 to 5.5 years for fraudulently enticing “online boyfriends” to spend extravagantly at a Houhai-area bar and coffee shop. Zhao Yucai and Wang Baojia allegedly wrote internet postings seeking “one-night stands” to attract men to the bar or coffee shop where pre-arranged young women encouraged the men to purchase expensive foods and drinks before leaving the men alone in the bar. The young women's defense attorney argued that the supposed “victims” had “harbored dark thoughts and illicit motives” and should not be considered “victims.” All the young women involved received 1-2 year sentences.
