BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese court has sentenced to death a rapist who posed as a female on social networks to lure 16 girls to meet him, a state news agency reported Thursday.

Wang Yong, 40, was sentenced earlier this month for raping the girls aged 12 to 16 starting in 2009, the official Xinhua News Agency said. He was arrested in September 2012.

Xinhua said Wang was unemployed and posed as a female on online social networks to befriend schoolgirls and convince them to meet him. He raped the girls in hotels.

The Intermediate People’s Court in Wuhu city in eastern China’s Anhui province also sentenced Wang’s accomplice, a 16-year-old girl who said she had been coerced by him, to three years’ imprisonment. She brought younger girls whose trust she had gained to the hotels.

1. Works for me.

Raping a 12 year old child should result in death for the perpetrator.

[Beacool]

2. For once I'm not cringing at a Chinese death sentence.

May the bastard rot in hell.

3. Good.

[Supersedeas]

4. Death or castration -- for some men, these are equivalent sentences

In terms of the sentence being equivalent to the crime--

the castration, like the rape, should be a slow process done without anesthesia...

in which case, death may be preferred.

7. I believe in the death penalty,

but in this case, I will vote for castration. Let this monster suffer for the rest of his life.

5. they put the 16 year old into their slave prison! what a crap country.

[Hip_Flask]

6. Good...

I'm less sure about the 16 year old though...

8. Why don't we do this?

[Archae]

9. We did.

Many decades ago, rapists were put in the electric chair or hanged.

And most of the accused were black men.

You want to return to those "good old days?"

[CFLDem]

10. No

I would like to initiate good new days based on DNA evidence.

I would give them two options:

1. Turn big rocks into little rocks for the rest their natural lives.

Or

2. Execution
