Chinese sex abuse: sleep with me, not kids...

Suddenly all kinds of people in China are offering to sleep with the headmaster.

The unusual outpouring is in response to a recent spate of sex abuse cases, including that of a school principal who spent the night in a hotel room with four underage girls. Artists, activists, university students and police officers are photographing themselves — some nude and provocatively posed, some angry and menacing — with the message:

"Principal, get a room with me. Leave the young students alone."

The online campaign — mixing performance art, satire and outrage — has tapped into public anger over sexual abuse against children. It's a problem in China partly because of a lack of sex education and partly because Chinese society has become unmoored from traditional strictures after decades of rapid economic change and social change.

The national debate on the problem began in early May, when a primary school principal was caught spending a night with four schoolgirls — all under the age of 14 — in a hotel room in southern China's Hainan province. Chen Zaipeng, the principal, has been fired and charged with rape.

 Members of the public reacted with astonishment to the high-profile case, and have been reading with fury as at least seven more cases of sexual abuse by school teachers or employees against young girls have come to light over the past three weeks from different parts of China. Some victims were as young as 8. Full story...
