A man in Qingdao paid 400 yuan for a service appointment, but after seeing the other person in person, he immediately regretted it and wanted a refund, and the result… he was detained for 5 days!


Here's what happened: Qingdao, Shandong. Mr. Wang was on a business trip staying at a hotel, and he was lured by a small card at the door, paying 400 yuan online.
After the woman came to his room to take a shower, he turned on the light and was disappointed by her appearance and figure, immediately requesting to cancel the transaction and get a refund.
The money had already been transferred to the platform, so the woman couldn't refund it, and the two argued on the spot.
A neighbor heard the commotion and called the police, who raided the scene and took both of them away.
The police station determined that Mr. Wang was engaging in illegal prostitution, and he was administratively detained for 5 days. Mr. Wang disagreed, claiming "I voluntarily gave up, no actual transaction occurred, so it's not illegal," and even sued the police in court.
What was the outcome? The court upheld the original punishment.
From contact and payment to the woman's visit, the entire act already constitutes an attempt to commit the crime; simply "regretting after seeing face" does not exempt from liability.
Impulsiveness is the devil… 400 yuan learned a profound lesson.
What do you all think? In this situation, should it be considered "completed" or "interrupted"? Feel free to discuss rationally.

Realizing people and then regretting is such an absurd reason; if you want a refund, you should first think about what you're doing.

Legally, it has already begun; don't use "not accomplished" as a talisman.

The so-called "termination" must be a voluntary abandonment that effectively prevents the outcome from occurring. This is more like dismissing the other party's temporary change of mind, not a termination in the legal sense.

From the perspective of administrative penalties, soliciting prostitution is generally not subdivided into completed or attempted; the key factors are the intent of the behavior and whether the implementation process has already begun.

Rationally speaking, if you cut off contact and refuse to visit from the beginning, there might still be room for discussion; once people are in the room, claiming "nothing happened" becomes very hard to stand by.

It is normal for the court to uphold the decision; otherwise, in the future, people could simply use "I regret it" to absolve themselves, making law enforcement impossible.

At the end of the day, don't mess with drugs; the costs are not just money, but also reputation, detention, criminal record, and both work and family life could be blown up.

Platform payments, on-site services, in-person arguments, and even neighbors calling the police—I've basically provided all the evidence right at their doorstep.

This set of small cards is too old, and still dares to pay online to leave proof, which is equivalent to completing the chain oneself.
