In a case drawing comparisons with the Xishui, Sichuan child rape and prostitution affair earlier this year, the Anxi County (Fujian Province) public security bureau has arrested eighteen people, including two public officials, on suspicion of rape and “whoring with young girls.” Police have already administratively sentenced another public official, Xie Zhiteng, head of the local industry and commerce bureau, to six months of detention for education for visiting prostitutes. Investigators started pursuing the case after a junior high school student reported to police that Yang Xiangsi, now described as the mastermind of the operation, tried to frighten and entice her into performing sexual services. Police allege Yang and his accomplices forced eight middle school girls, including five under the age of 14—which triggers China's “crime of whoring with young girls"—into prostitution.
