New twist to sex scandal

The indirect evidence offered by the police in Kunming, Yunnan province, to prove that they didn't abuse their law-enforcing power, and that the two girls they detained did engage in prostitution is not convincing enough, says an article in Chongqing Times. Excerpts:

The prostitution case involving two primary schoolgirls in Kunming has taken unexpected twists: from the police's initial ruling that the two girls did sell sex and its request for a second medical test to ascertain their virginity, to its latest assertion that the two did engage in prostitution.

The conclusion of the police is based on the following: The police had arrested the wrong girls, because Liu Shihua, the father, switched them before the arrest; Liu and his wife falsified the results of the medical examination that proved the two girls' virginity; Liu himself has a criminal record and was imprisoned for nine years for robbery and theft.
