The Shandong Provincial High Court ordered the Intermediate People’s Court of Zibo – a city in Shandong, eastern China – to review the case earlier this year.

On October 8, it pronounced the husband, surnamed Lu, not guilty, Huashang News reported.

In March 2021, Lu noticed his wife was spending a long time getting dressed up to take their daughter to her private tutor.

His suspicions were aroused so he followed her to a hotel where he found her having sex with a man in one of the rooms.
