A 19-YEAR-OLD Chinese blogger has been jailed for prostitution after an offer of free sex caused a stampede to her Hilton Hotel room.
Ye Mouyi, going by the username Qianjin Yeye, posted to social media site Weibo and instant messaging app WeChat a short geo-tagged message on March 1 containing her room number and exact address — the Hilton Hotel in Sanya City’s Haitang Bay, in China’s southern Hainan Province.
“Somebody come get me… Sex… for free … 6316,” she wrote in the message which quickly went viral. The post was accompanied by a video of the woman in a bikini inside the hotel room.
According to the AsiaWire news service, an official Haitang District police statement said the posts caused numerous people to turn up at the hotel to knock on her door, while a number of people called the hotel front desk to inquire about the guest in room 6316.
AsiaWire said unconfirmed social media rumours claimed 3000 people either rang or showed up at the Hilton. The woman later posted on WeChat begging people to “stop sharing” the offer, which she claimed was “just a joke”.
