A man was sentenced to death for keeping two girls in a dungeon as sex slaves and raping nine other women. Zeng Qiangbao, a 40-year-old steel worker, was convicted of rape, illegally imprisoning, robbery and kidnapping in central China's Hubei province.
The court heard that Zeng had caged two teenage girls in a dungeon for 590 and 317 days as sex slaves until they were rescued by police last year, according to reports. He also raped nine other women from July 2007 to May 2010, the prosecutor said.
The two teenagers were rescued after a man visited his friend's electronics repair shop and found a note in a partially dismantled television. It read: "Help. I've been held prisoner underground for more than a year." Along with the words was a hand-drawn map that showed where the girls were being kept, as well as the telephone number and address of Zhou's family. The customer called the number and informed the father of one of the victims, who later called the police.
