Man Jailed Six Months for Sex with 17-Year-Old Met on Dating App

A man has been sentenced to six months in prison for engaging in sexual activity with a 17-year-old high school student he met on a dating application. The encounter, which involved the man hosting the student for three days and two nights, resulted in a conviction based on the exchange of money.

The man, identified as Mr. Liu, reportedly paid over 10,000 yuan (approximately $1,400 USD) for the time spent with the minor. However, the student testified in court that her involvement was primarily transactional. She stated that she did not have feelings for Mr. Liu and would not have agreed to spend time with him if financial compensation were not involved.

This testimony was crucial in the judge's decision. The court determined that there was a clear quid pro quo, meaning the sexual activity was contingent upon payment. This finding led to the six-month jail sentence for Mr. Liu, highlighting the legal consequences of such interactions involving minors and financial transactions.
