Busted prostitutes in Nanning turn out to be men

NANNING - All 14 prostitutes caught by the police in South China's Nanning city in a recent raid turned out to be men, a police officer said on Tuesday.

"After investigation, we found some of the prostitutes underwent a sex-change operation, and some were homosexuals," said a deputy director of the Xingning branch of Nanning police bureau surnamed Huang, who declined to give his full name.

All of the prostitutes have been released after interrogation, Huang said.
