Scandal woman in gambling and sex probe

Guo Meimei, the 23-year-old woman who landed the Red Cross in China in a credibility crisis, has been investigated for being deeply involved with illegal gambling and the sex trade, and for spreading rumors, Xinhua News Agency reported on Monday.

Guo was arrested on July 10 on suspicion of taking part in illegal World Cup soccer gambling activities. She later confessed to police that she had nothing to do with the Red Cross Society of China.

"None of my relatives and friends, including my ex-boyfriend, were staff members of the RCSC. I didn't know anyone from the Red Cross," Guo said. "I made a huge mistake to gratify my vanity," she said during the investigation.
