A businesswoman announced on the Judgment Documents Network sued a male model for a refund. Source: Judgment Documents Network
Filed in court: A 50-year-old divorced woman spent 890,000 yuan to support a post-1995 male model
Among the many reports, "male models are paid escorts" It refers to destroying families, corrupting social morals, and also causing emotional and economic disputes with "three incorrect views."
According to a verdict issued by the People's Court of Xiangtan County, Hunan Province on June 1 this year, a nearly 50-year-old man was arrested. After a divorced business woman met Hu, a male model born in 1995, at a KTV in Changsha, they lived together for half a year. Then Zhou sued Hu for concealing the fact that she was married, and asked to claim back the more than 890,000 yuan she spent on Hu. The civil dispute was denounced as "subverting three views and normal people's traditional moral cognition."
The Xiangtan County People's Court's judgment showed that Zhou was a businesswoman born in 1972. In early April 2021, Zhou When a certain person was shopping at the "No. 3 Entertainment" KTV in Changsha city, he met Hu, a paid escort employee of the KTV. After several purchases, they became fond of each other and started living together in late April. Born in 2021, Zhou is more than 20 years older than Hu. Zhou spends money like water when getting along with Hu: for example, on April 18, 2021, Zhou spent 6,297 yuan on clothes for Hu at Dijiaya. Versace cost 3,600 yuan to buy belts, and LV bought shoes for 12,450 yuan. In total, the one-time consumption reached 22,347 yuan. It is normal for Hu to spend 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to sing at the "No. 3 Entertainment" KTV through Zhou. On June 15, 2021, the "No. 3 Entertainment" KTV was investigated by the public security organs for pornography and later closed down.
In January 2022, Zhou sued Hu, claiming that she accidentally discovered that Hu was married. He dated Hu with the purpose of getting married, but Hu used it to defraud his own property and concealed the fact that he was married, causing himself to fall into a misunderstanding.
Hu argued that Zhou made up the idea of dating him for the purpose of marriage. According to the plot, the two parties met at the "No. 3 Entertainment" paid escort KTV. He was a male model in the KTV. Zhou was very aware of the nature of his work. Most of the transfers were for consumption at the "No. 3 Entertainment" KTV. Hu said that Zhou and The reason for maintaining a relationship between a man and a woman is entirely because he is young, handsome and considerate, not for the purpose of getting married. Zhou also contacted his wife Chen many times and revealed to the Xiangtan County People's Court many times that he knew Chen. It is believed that the two met in a pornographic establishment. During the trial, Hu was blunt about the purpose of his relationship with Zhou, saying, "I have always treated Zhou as a client. I only wanted Zhou's money and asked Zhou to perform for me." , and Zhou was just looking for excitement and relieving loneliness, and each other took what they needed. Although this abnormal relationship, which originated from pleasure venues and illegal sex trade, had survived, it was not more about true feelings for each other. As a prank, Hu used his body and dignity to win Zhou's favor. Zhou used money to make up for the huge age difference between mother and son in exchange for Hu's attention and short-term companionship. In fact, the two of them were in a state of "nurturing and being kept" in popular terms. "It really subverts the three views and the traditional moral cognition of normal people, so the previous relationship between the two parties should be negatively evaluated.
On April 24, 2022, the Xiangtan County Court made a first-instance judgment: Within 10 days after the judgment came into effect, Hu returned 70,000 yuan of Zhou’s unjust gains and rejected Zhou’s other claims.
KTV male model reporting post in "Voice of the People"
Expert: If male model escorts are involved in sex trade, the organizers should be convicted of organizing prostitution
Why are paid escorts so rampant? Is it difficult to investigate and deal with a large number of erotic edge cases?
In this regard, Wang Fu, a well-known criminal defense lawyer, said that the prostitutes included in the crime of organizing prostitution and assisting in organizing prostitution stipulated in Article 358 of my country's " Criminal Law " include not only women but also men. In the same way, "Public Security Management Punishments" Prostitutes as stipulated in Articles 66 and 67 of the Act also include men. Prostitution refers to sexual behavior with an unfixed partner in exchange for a price or with an agreement to accept a price in order to obtain material rewards (money, gifts, etc.). If organized prostitution occurs among paid escorts, the organizers and assisting organizers can be investigated for criminal liability in accordance with the Criminal Law, and the prostitutes can be punished in accordance with the Public Security Administration Punishment Law; if there is no prostitution in the paid escorts, they can Investigate and handle according to the " Entertainment Venue Management Regulations ".
Former vice president of Hunan Provincial Criminal Law Research Association and famous lawyer He Xiaodian believes that paid escort, understood from a broad perspective, includes all paid companionship, care, service, service and other activities voluntarily provided to others. It includes both legal professional services and illegal and even criminal escorts. Paid escorts in a narrow sense are used in a derogatory sense in specific situations, including paid escorts for specific or unspecified others accompanied by illegal and criminal activities such as prostitution, drug abuse, gambling, and illegal cohabitation. Among them, sexual services that are not based on human emotions and are voluntarily provided to unspecified people for a fee, including sexual relations or sex-related behaviors, are actually prostitution. Organizing and assisting organizers constitutes the illegal crime of organizing prostitution and assisting in organizing prostitution.
In addition, Wang Fu said, "According to Article 24 of the Entertainment Venue Management Regulations: Entertainment venues are not allowed to recruit minors. Some online posts reported that some venues recruit high school students and even minors to participate. The above Although the content has not been confirmed by the public security organs, if there is solicitation of middle school students and minors to participate in paid escorts, it may not only violate the " Labor Law" and "Regulations", but also violate moral ethics and have a negative impact on the lives of middle school students and minors. It has a negative impact on their outlook and values and is not conducive to their healthy growth; if the escort is under 14 years old, the escort may also be suspected of child molestation.”
Wang Fu said that when paid escorts exist in entertainment venues, the escorts, regardless of gender, are often involved. Getting along with the escort partner in ambiguous situations. From the content of numerous reported online posts, we can see that "paid escorts for male models" are not limited to erotic sidekicks. Its purpose is to serve as a means of diverting traffic and high consumption to entertainment venues. There may also be cases where counterfeit wine is sold at high prices or consumers are deceived, lured, or forced into high consumption. If counterfeit wine is sold at a high price, it may be suspected of selling counterfeit and inferior goods. If the counterfeit wine is poisonous and harmful and sold knowing that the counterfeit wine is adulterated with toxic and harmful non-food ingredients, it may be suspected of selling toxic or harmful food. If violence, coercion and other means are used to force consumers to consume, if the circumstances are serious, they may be suspected of the crime of forced transaction.
