The English website of the\u00a0<i>Global Times<\/i>translated it a little more colorfully: \u2018Wizard arrested for raping Buddhist\u2019. This is the English article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Police arrested a self-claimed sorcerer in Shijingshan district, who exorcised demons in exchange for sex, the Beijing Evening News reported yesterday. The district prosecutor\u2019s office is pressing a rape charge against the man, surnamed Kang.<\/p>\n<p>Kang met one of his victims, surnamed Ma, in February in Badachu, a temple area in western Beijing. He told her she was possessed and that the way to be cleansed of the demon was to have sex with him. Ma, a Buddhist, believed him. Ma\u2019s family called police when they found she was going to see Kang for a second time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The original Chinese version of the story fills out a few more details, but it does not answer the legal question of whether the crime can be considered rape, as Ma apparently consented to sexual intercourse. The police were only brought in because her parents believed she was being tricked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links and sources<\/strong><br \/>\nBeijing Evening News:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120501052650\/http:\/\/bjwb.bjd.com.cn\/html\/2012-04\/23\/content_76191.htm\">\u5f3a\u5978\u624b\u6bb5\u72e1\u733e\u9f8c\u9f8a; \u201c\u7b97\u547d\u5148\u751f\u201d\u88ab\u6279\u6355<\/a><br \/>\nXinhua:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120501052650\/http:\/\/news.xinhuanet.com\/english\/china\/2012-04\/25\/c_131550344.htm\">Ex-soccer chief Nan Yong charged with taking 1.48 million yuan bribes<\/a><br \/>\nBloomberg:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120501052650\/http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2012-04-09\/beijing-tightens-food-safety-control-with-life-ban-in-new-rules.html\">Beijing Tightens Food Safety Control With Life Ban in New Rules<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120501052650\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/peterschloss\">Peter Schloss<\/a>\u00a0for pointing out this story.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The top front page headline of\u00a0Beijing Evening News\u00a0today concerns tightening of food safety regulations.
