Beijing Adult Entertainment: Jail stands for bogus director for pimping
By Zhang Yan
An appeal court upheld the 10-year sentence of a man who opened a film studio to trick movie hopefuls into prostitution.
The appeal took place at the Beijing No 1 Intermediate Court yesterday. Hu Weidong, 49, from Henan province, manipulated more than 10 girls searching for acting roles, including underage Beijing twins known as “Baobao and Azi,” to have sex with him, his assistants and wealthy clients, as part of their role in his studio.
In October, Hu was convicted of organizing prostitution and sentenced to 10 years, with an additional fine of 100,000 yuan by Haidian district court.
At the time, he vowed immediately to appeal.
His two assistants, Meng Qingbo and Sun Qiao, were also convicted of aiding prostitution and organizing promiscuity.
Meng was sentenced to seven years with a fine of 20,000 yuan, and Sun was given three years with the same fine, at Haidian court last October.
