An illicit blog that has swept the Internet and claims to tell the story of an "HIV-infected prostitute" is a sick hoax by an angry ex-boyfriend, police said yesterday.
The post, which featured 300 indecent pictures of Yan Deli, along with 279 cell phone numbers of "former clients", emerged last week and rapidly spread across the nation's Web portals.
The post claims the 30-year-old was raped by her stepfather at 15 and had become a waitress at karaoke bars in Beijing, and that the cell numbers were published in revenge against society.
However, police in Yan's native Rongcheng county, Hebei province, told China Daily yesterday that the blog had been written by the woman's ex-lover - a married man from Beijing.
The suspect, whose name has not been released, had demanded 5,000 yuan (US$730) from Yan when they split up but she refused, said a local police officer who declined to be named.
The man later told police the woman's brother had attacked him, the officer said.
The suspect then returned to the capital and, using the cell numbers he had received at the Rongcheng county police station, began to send indecent pictures of Yan to several officers via SMS.
"We have kept those text messages and we will sue him for smearing our reputation," said the officer, whose number was one of those listed on the blog.
