Summary

Jiao, a 38-year-old man in Nanjing, China, used a fake female persona named 'Sister Hong' to lure over 1,600 men into sexual encounters, which he secretly filmed and sold online for profit. He targeted mostly heterosexual men, posing as a woman on social media. The scandal went viral in July 2025 after footage spread on Weibo, garnering over 200 million views. Jiao was arrested on July 5, 2025 and charged with illegal distribution of obscene materials and invasion of privacy. At least three of his victims later tested positive for HIV, though no official causal link to Jiao was confirmed. The case sparked major public debate in China about digital privacy, consent, and legal gaps around secretly recorded intimate footage.
