A man from Nanjing, China (surname reported as Jiao) allegedly posed online as a woman, using the alias “Sister Hong” (or “Red Uncle” in English-media translations).
He is reported to have lured a large number of men — originally claimed to be around 1,600, though the official number is lower and still under investigation.
He arranged for them to meet at his place (or a location set up for this purpose), pretending to be a woman, and the encounters were secretly filmed by him (or his setup) without the men’s knowledge or full consent.
The videos were then leaked or shared online across social media platforms and messaging groups.
The case has raised major concerns around privacy violation, consent, sexual morality, STDs, and how internet virality treats serious matters.
