2 women held for promoting prostitution on Baidu search engine and luring others in the racket
Online Edition
TWO women who allegedly promoted prostitution on leading Internet search provider Baidu have been arrested for engaging others in prostitution, the Minhang District People's Procuratorate said Wednesday.
The illicit earnings from such activities topped 60,000 yuan (US$9,194) a month, prosecutors said.
According to prosecutors, Minhang police received a report about a nationwide WeChat group where some prostitution information was posted on December 9, 2014. After a 9-month probe, two members surnamed Wu and Tie, were captured by police on September 14 last year.
The two told police that they went to South Korea for face-lift and portrait photos and then promoted themselves via Baidu keywords like "theater school beauty" and "young model."
Since they received plastic surgeries in the same hospital, they looked similar and often procured each other to offer the service when one was occupied.
The customers were mainly regular ones or introduced by their friends and one deal could bring them several thousand yuan profits. Sometimes they also procured other prostitutes to receive the customers instead of them and took some "referral fees."
Wu said the money they earned were mostly used in renting house and making themselves look more attractive. Her family's medical fees and younger cousins' tuition were also from these earnings.
