Cops probe sex slurs

POLICE want to know who went online to post photos of three "prostitutes" in east China's Anhui Province and the phone numbers of 89 of their alleged clients. One of the women was claimed to have contracted AIDS after years of prostitution.

Police in Hefei, Anhui's capital city, launched the investigation after the post at a local online forum triggered a public uproar, yesterday's Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported.

Hefei Disease Prevent and Control Center's AIDS center denied to local media that it had a record for Li Jingxia, whom the post named as an AIDS patient.

The post was first published on Sunday at bbs.hefei.cn and claimed the three women including Li had been working as prostitutes since 2006. Li was allegedly diagnosed with AIDS. Attached were the women's photos and phone numbers of 89 their so called clients. The poster advised the "clients" to visit the hospital after reading the post.

Li was described as a female born in 1974 in Anhui's Bozhou City.

One day later, a poster claiming to be one of the three women in the photos ran a post rebutting the prostitution accusation.

She said the women in the photos were her mother, sister and herself. She said the accuser was her mother's former boyfriend Zhao Guangkuo who had been rejected after being found to have a criminal record as a thief.

The first post was then deleted from the Website.

Xiaoxiang Morning Post dialed 20 numbers and every respondent - many were females - denied the prostitution allegation.
