Police in China held a man in administrative detention for allegedly launching a 10-day online abuse campaign against his ex-girlfriend that led to a situation in which two men showed up at her door at 3am.
The woman, who went by the pseudonym Li, said she called the police on May 26 when someone was ringing her doorbell in the early morning, assuming it was a prank from her ex-boyfriend, surnamed Chen.
The police officers found two men outside her door and took them to the station for questioning. They said they had received Li’s address from the woman on an app, which Li denied, according to a report in Thepaper.cn.

At this point, Li suspected that Chen was behind the men’s appearance and she asked the police to investigate him.
When the police interrogated Chen the following day, he said: “I impersonated Li on the app and leaked her private information to the men who talked with me. Over 10 days, I sent invitations to 37 men to go out drinking and dating. My goal was that she would come to me for help when she felt she was in danger.”
