Duo’s sex drug ads jammed broadcasts
Print Edition
A FATHER and son who sold anti-impotence drugs without a licence, jamming radio stations to broadcast adverts for their wares, have been charged with running an illegal business.
The duo, whose surnames are Huang, sold more than 1,000 boxes of pills within two months, bringing in more than 240,000 yuan (US$38,880), the Baoshan District prosecutors office said yesterday.
According to prosecutors, the pair advertised their product hotline using a radio signal jammer that blocks radio station signals.
Prosecutors said a friend of the father recommended the scheme and provided the jammers.
Huang senior is said to have contacted a drugs merchant at an exhibition and, aided by a drugs company in northeast China’s Jilin Province, bought 3,000 boxes of anti-impotence medication.
Then the father and son used their jammer to broadcast in Baoshan and the Pudong New Area.
Hotline staff would deal with would-be customers’ questions and take orders, according to prosecutors.
Huang junior would deliver the orders, it is claimed.
Following a report from a member of the public in January, police raided their home and found more than 1,700 boxes of anti-impotence drugs and a jammer.
The medication they sold is a prescription drug which can only be sold in state-owned pharmacies.
