A Chinese man was sentenced to death Friday for holding six women as sex slaves in an underground lair and ordering the deaths of two of them,
Chinese state media reported.
A court in Luoyang city convicted Li Hao on charges of murder, rape, organized prostitution, illegal detention and selling pornography.
Li, who is married with a young son, had worked for the technological supervision bureau in the city in Henan province.
Court heard that the 35-year-old dug the dungeon in the basement of a residential compound he bought in 2009 and decided to keep the unsuspecting innocent ladies under the same.
Li repeatedly raped the women, forced them to appear in pornographic web shows from March to April 2011 and made them have sex with customers for a short time last year, the court heard.
Three of the women were also found guilty of murder over the killings of two of their fellow captives, reports further indicated.
However, the court was lenient in its judgment of the women because of the circumstances in which they were held, finding they acted under instruction, and in one case coercion, from Li. One of the women was sentenced to three years in prison and the other two were placed on probation.
Li's intention was to make money from selling the women's sexual services and uploading obscene videos to the Internet, the court heard.
