BEIJING (Reuters) - Police in southwestern China have arrested
a doctor for padlocking a woman's vagina to prevent her from
having other lovers, the Beijing Evening News said.
The woman, surnamed Liu, was reported to authorities in the
Sichuan provincial capital of Chengdu this month after
neighbors saw her walking with difficulty, the newspaper said.
Police found the 22-year-old woman had a rusty padlock pierced
through two holes in her labia, it said.
She led the police to Yao Yung, a physician at a local clinic,
who was arrested after he surrendered the key to the padlock,
it said.
Yao was later found to have drugged and raped the young woman
during a check-up and then forced her to live with him by
threatening to kill her family.
