19-year-old blogger arrested for offering free sex on social media and causing ‘thousands to rush to her hotel’
A Teenage Chinese blogger has been arrested on suspicion of prostitution after she announced she would be offering free sex on social media.
The 19-year-old Miss Ye reportedly caused chaos as around 3,000 people flocked to the hotel, where she was staying in southern China.
According to Chinese news site ifeng.com, the incident happened in Haitang Bay, Sanya, on Hainan island of southern China.
The hotel officials also claimed they received phone calls asking for the details of the guest staying in room 6316.
Miss Ye is said to have uploaded a post at 8 pm on March 1 to advertise for her ‘free sex service’. The post, which has since been deleted, read: ‘Who’s coming to get me…to have sex…for free.‘
She also left a room number 6316 in the post.
Local authorities launched an investigation upon receiving reports from DoubleTree by Hilton. The hotel confirmed that the suspect had checked in at the hotel around 3pm and stayed in room 6316, according to ifeng.com.
It was also reported that she was forced to check out her room at 10 pm as numerous people knocked on her door.
Scared for her life, Miss Ye later replied under a comment on her post and said she was just joking and begged people to stop looking for her at the hotel.
Miss Ye was later arrested at a hotel at Sanya Phoenix International Airport on suspicion of prostitution.
