JIANGSU

Nightclub worker blackmailed

An 18-year-old woman working in a nightclub in Nanjing was forced to strip naked by her colleagues, who then took photos of her for blackmail. The perpetrators, two women and a man, were reported to the police on April 14. Investigations found that the man, who was the victim's boss, had instigated the act in revenge because the 18-year-old would not sleep with him. The victim also had all her cash stolen and was forced to write an IOU for 10,000 yuan ($1,538). The three suspects have been detained.
