Woman spends night in China hotel with man she met online, shares bed to ‘test’ his powers of restraint, claims rape
- They go shopping, he buys dresses and shoes, gives her US$280 for hug
- Pair share bed, she says she will date him if he “does not touch” her all night
A woman in China has told police that she was raped by a man she had agreed to share a hotel bed with for the night.
The woman, surnamed Zhao, said she met the man on a social media platform in August last year, and that he made a good impression on her, according to mainland news reports.
Zhao, 28, who lives in Wuhan, in the central province of Hunan, said she was in low spirits at the time due to face wounds she had sustained in a recent road accident.
“I was in bad shape. I hadn’t had a boyfriend before. He seemed different to other men on dating apps because he didn’t say any erotic things to me. So I thought we would get on,” she said.
Zhao and the man met in person the same day they connected online. He suggested going to a bar but she refused so he drove her home.
Three days later they went shopping together and he bought dresses and shoes for Zhao. Then he asked her to stay with him in a hotel that evening and she agreed because she said she wanted to “test” him.
