Chinese campus brothel that gave students discount for sex ‘run by university president’

A university campus hotel that operates a barely disguised brothel and offers discounts to students for sexual services is allegedly owned by the head of the institution, according to a Chinese newspaper report.

According to a student who tipped off the paper, the “hotel” – situated atop one of the university’s canteen buildings – is in fact a brothel. The student, surnamed Chen, told reporters that when he went to the hotel to check out its foot massage service that were being advertised, he was offered “special services.”

A reporter for the Times who confirmed Chen’s story spoke to several hotel employees who said they provided sexual services on the side, but emphasised that this was managed directly within the hotel.

An employee the newspaper spoke to said that some of their customers were students, who could receive a discount if they showed a university ID, or someone referred by a student (which is how the reporter got access). She said that although they posted a phone number outside the building, if they received a call from an “unfamiliar person, we would not arrange [an appointment].”
