A 54-year-old middle school teacher who had several times been recognized as a top teacher, and is the father of a daughter, was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping six school girls.
Gong Qiang (a pseudonym), a language teacher in Huai’an City in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, had become an online con artist, setting up an elaborate scheme to trap young school girls into having sex with him and then to turn his victims into accomplices who assisted him in committing more sex crimes.
