Chinese Version of Ariel Castro Executed



In a case in China which echoed that of Ariel Castro, but went a couple of steps further, Li Hao, was convicted of keeping six women as sex-slaves in a home-made dugeon and murdering two of them.  He was executed, whereas Castro took his own life in prison.

Li Hao
The Daily Mail UK reported that: The official Xinhua news agency said that Li Hao had been convicted of murder, rape, illegal detention, organized prostitution and making pornography for profit in 2012.

Li, who was a government clerk, apparently built a dungeon in his basement where he forced the women to work as prostitutes.  He also apparently coercd them to kill two others who had been forced to work alongside them.  The women who murdered their cohorts were given leniency for their role in the murders. One was given three years and two others probation.  

Apparently, like in the Castro case, one of the women managed to escapeand went to the police, who went to the dungeon. Unlike the Castro case, where Castro kept the women isolated and only he knew they were there, Li apparently had men coming down to the dungeon to be serviced by the women.  Hopefully the Chinese police are going after the Johns.  We’ll see if anything more comes from that.
