Police in Nanshan District, Foshan, uncovered a salon that was providing its clients sexual services (that can’t have been hard). However, the court ruled that as the salon was only offering a “happy ending” to its customers, which didn’t equate to prostitution, the three men in charged with the crime were let off.

This case goes way back to July 2011, when the Nanshan police seized several men who worked in a salon under suspicion of housing prostitutes. The investigation stated that there were many massage girls in the salon who provide sexual services to clients. The boss, a man surnamed Li, as well as two managerial staff were then taken into police custody for further investigation.

At the end of 2011, Li and the two others were sentenced to five years in prison for arranging prostitution. Upon being sentenced however, Li appealed and claimed that his actions didn’t constitute a crime. Li emphasized that the girls who worked at his salon were only providing “hand services”, and weren’t actually selling their bodies. According to law, prostitution accounts for an action that ends up with one party receiving profit from the sale of sex, and doesn’t include acts such as mutual masturbation during a massage.

At the beginning of 2012, a secondary investigation was undertook; however in light of the aforementioned revelations, the three men were acquitted.
