Zeng Qiangbao, a 40-year-old worker in a steel factory in Wuhan, was convicted of rape, illegally imprisoning, robbery and forcible seizure by a court in central China’s Hubei province.
- The court heard that Zeng had caged two teenage girls in a dungeon for 590 days and 317 days as sex slaves until they were rescued by police May 14 last year, the China Daily reported Tuesday.
- He also raped nine other women from July 2007 to May 2010, the prosecutor said.
- According to the prosecutor, Zeng captured 16-year-old Hu Sep 16, 2008, and took her to a dungeon under his house and raped her.
- On July 2, 2009, Zeng kidnapped a 19-year-old girl surnamed Zhou and sexually assaulted her. The girl was also kept in the dungeon. Both the girls were repeatedly beaten and raped by Zeng, the prosecutor said.
- The two were rescued May 14, 2010, after a man surname Du visited his friend’s electronics repair shop and found a note in a partially dismantled television. It read: “Help. I’ve been held prisoner underground for more than a year.”
Du called the number and informed the father of one of the victims, who later called the police.
