Chinese crossdressing internet celebrity 'Nanjing Hongjie' enjoys wearing women's clothes, donning wigs, and putting on heavy makeup; she often arranges to meet male netizens online, seizing the opportunity to secretly record these encounters and then selling the videos on a member-only platform. After receiving reports, police arrested her and found that Nanjing Hongjie is actually a 38-year-old middle-aged man. It was further reported that he has had sexual relations with 1,691 men, including young fitness trainers, university students, and more.
Recently on Weibo, 'Nanjing Red Old Man' has become a trending topic—rumors circulated that a 60-year-old crossdressing internet celebrity 'Nanjing Hongjie' secretly recorded and sold sex tapes with over a thousand men. However, Chinese police clarified on the 7th that Hongjie's real identity is a 38-year-old male who has long presented as a woman online. Using beauty filters and a faked voice, he attracted male netizens, privately chatting and luring them with 'free sex' for in-person meetings.
According to online information and media reports, 'Nanjing Hongjie' used simple and crude props, wearing a wig, face heavily powdered, and donning a one-piece dress to impersonate a woman and deceive men into having sex.
Reportedly, Hongjie only required the men she met to bring gifts such as peanut oil or fruit as a condition for meeting, and would then agree to have sex. Some victims, even after discovering the real gender of their counterpart upon meeting, would go through with sex anyway with a 'since I'm already here' attitude. Hongjie would then set up hidden cameras to fully record the sexual acts and upload the videos to a pay-per-view member platform.
It is said that there are 1,691 male victims so far, including fitness trainers, university students, office workers, and more. Since the victims’ faces are visible in the videos, after leaks, several individuals have been identified. In response, police stated only that there were 'multiple male' victims, and the exact number is still being verified.
The secretly filmed videos were shot in a small, simply furnished room with consistent scenes, believed to be Hongjie’s rental. The videos range from a few minutes to over ten minutes in length.
Some netizens noted that several of the men in the videos appear hesitant and show complex expressions, suggesting they may have realized 'Nanjing Hongjie' was actually male.
Additionally, there are reports that Hongjie knowingly engaged in unprotected sex despite having a sexually transmitted disease, potentially leading to the spread of STDs. Police said there is currently no evidence to support this allegation, but if proven, it would constitute 'endangering public safety', which carries a maximum penalty of death.
