Man posed as woman, secretly filmed sexual encounters, linked to HIV scare
Nanjing hospitals offer free HIV tests after 'Sister Hong' impersonator's arrest.
SHAH ALAM – A shocking scandal involving deep deception, sexual exploitation and public health risks is exploding online in China, proving to be far more serious than just viral drama.
The real-life “Sister Hong” case is trending across Chinese social media, causing widespread anxiety about privacy and digital consent.
It turns out, Sister Hong isn't a "sister" at all.
He is Jiao, a 38-year-old man from Nanjing who allegedly disguised himself as a married woman to deceive men into sexual encounters, secretly recording them without their knowledge.
This was no simple catfish situation.
Jiao reportedly used wigs, makeup, dresses, voice changers and beauty filters.
He posed as a lonely housewife seeking flings, inviting men to his apartment where hidden cameras were already rolling.
This wasn't just catfishing; it was an alleged digital crime ring.
Instead of charging for sex, Jiao would ask for small gifts like milk, fruit and cooking oil.
Behind the scenes, he was building a massive collection of hidden-camera videos, uploading them to a paid, private group chat.
Access cost 150 yuan (approximately RM88), providing users with hundreds of non-consensual clips.
The scandal erupted in early July 2025 when one of the men in the leaked videos was identified by internet users. After his fiancée found out, she immediately cancelled their engagement.
Jiao was arrested on July 5 and charged with the illegal distribution of obscene materials and invasion of privacy.
Meanwhile, media outlets reported that popular TV host Lu Zihao publicly claimed that at least three men who had encounters with “Sister Hong” later tested positive for HIV.
One woman even allegedly discovered her husband was exposed after seeing his test result, leading her to realise he might have been one of Jiao’s victims.
As a result, hospitals in Nanjing are now offering free HIV tests to anyone who may have been involved or exposed.
