Make seeking sexual favor a crime

A woman surnamed Fu offered sexual services to a government official surnamed Zhang to get a construction contract passed. After Zhang went back on his promise, she tried to blackmail him by threatening to make public the photographs she had secretly taken of the two together. But Zhang reported the matter to police, and Fu was found guilty of blackmailing and put behind bars while Zhang got away almost without punishment. To ensure that corrupt officials like Zhang are brought to justice, bribery in the form of sexual services should be written into the law as a crime, says an article in Yangtze Evening News. Excerpts:

Fu offered sexual services to Zhang as a bribe to get a government construction contract. But when Zhang refused to keep his word, Fu demanded that he pay her 400,000 yuan ($64,949) or else she would expose his misdeed by making public the photographs of the two together. In the end, she only got herself in jail, while Zhang was let off easily.
