61-year old Wu Tianxi who was a member of the national parliament between 1998 and 2003 was sentenced to be executed by the court in China’s Henan province according to what People’s Daily reported on its website.
“Police investigators found that from spring 2005, Wu Tianxi began searching for virgin girls with the help of a young woman surnamed Liu,” according to what the report had said.
It added: “For the following two years, Wu Tianxi laid his black hands on over 20 young middle school girls.”
The report said that he was arrested April of 2007.
Liu who was deemed his accomplice was sentenced for 20 years. Previous news articles say that she was one of Wu’s former victims.
“As Wu Tianxi was getting old he believed that he could reinvigorate himself and enjoy a long life if he could capture the female essence and reinvigorate his masculinity,” the report had also said as it cited an old Chinese superstition.
It added: “His goal was to bed 100 virgins.”
Before the arrest, he had a remarkable career. He was named one of Henan’s top entrepreneurs in 2002 along with being appointed to a county-level advisory body that is run by the Communist party.
