The dubious title of "the oldest criminal suspect in Xuanwei's history" now belongs to a man named Wang, born in January 1928. He was arrested by the Xuanwei Public Security Bureau on charges of raping a girl under the age of 14 after luring her with an apple. Yesterday, Wang, who has been placed under house arrest according to legal procedures, was being investigated further by the police.
On the evening of November 10th, Xiao Yan (a pseudonym), aged 13, was playing at a relative's house. When her relative offered her an apple, Xiao Yan suddenly told an incredible story to those present. One noon not long ago, with her parents not at home, Xiao Yan was playing alone in the village when she encountered Wang, also from her village, who was holding an apple. He told Xiao Yan that if she would sleep with him, he would give her the apple to eat.
