Hong Kong teacher visited foot massage parlour not prostitutes on Wuhan study trip, says Facebook post
- School teacher was visiting massage parlour in his free time when police conducted surprise operation there, according to person who claims to be colleague
- Internet users had claimed over weekend that teacher on study tour had been arrested on mainland for soliciting prostitutes
The male secondary school teacher from CUHKFAA Thomas Cheung Secondary School was at the foot massage parlour “during his free time” when police conducted a surprise operation there, the Facebook message said.
“He and the other customers at the parlour were thus invited to the police station to assist the investigation,” the post on an education group with 16,000 followers explained.
The person who wrote the post identified herself as Chan Tsz-wai, a retired athlete and the male teacher’s colleague at the school. Checks by the Post showed the name matched that of a female teacher shown on the school’s website.
The drama unfolded when internet users in WhatsApp groups and on LIHKG, an online forum in Hong Kong similar to Reddit, claimed over the weekend that a teacher had been arrested on the mainland over vice activities.
