One of the Shanghai judges embroiled in the latest sex scandal to hit China has managed to escape with a more lenient punishment than his lascivious cohorts.
But how? According to 21st Century Business Herald, his excessive wining and dining rendered him impotent.
And what was his prize? He was allowed to retain his Communist Party membership, at least for now, authorities said.
Wang Guojun, the deputy chief tribunal judge of the No 5 civil court was stripped of his government post and placed on party probation for two years.
He was filmed with two other judges and a discipline inspection official wining and dining in a luxury resort.
But Wang did not join his peers when they took prostitutes to their rooms, according to an investigation report by municipal officials.
