Wino Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 As can be seen from the article below, looks as if Thailand is not the only place that has problem with less than honest ladyboys. Here is a report about a trail in China. SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Five Filipino transvestites have gone on trial in Shanghai, accused of drugging men with adulterated foods before robbing them in a city with a reputation for an adventurous nightlife. Prosecutors told a Shanghai court on Tuesday the five men "dressed as women and, after leading the victims into taxis or hotel rooms, induced them to eat chocolate and other foods laced with sleeping drugs," the Xinhua news agency reported on Wednesday. The men then robbed their victims, taking mobile phones, credit cards, and a Rolex watch. They then uses the cards to buy perfume and gold, the prosecutors said. The five men aged from 26 to 30 were accused of committing the crimes three times from late last year to February, and were detained by police in March. Local newspaper reports said the goods stolen were worth 340,000 yuan ($49,780). The men pleaded guilty to the charges, and "expressed remorse for the victims, the Chinese government, their own country and their families," added the Legal Daily. The court will give a verdict at a later date, the news reports said. http://news.yahoo.co...s_transvestites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannaGo Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Man, of all the places for them to pick to commit crimes, why the hell would they go to China? I wonder if they understand exactly what they were risking. And I wonder if any of them will ever see daylight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaifan Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have to agree that they chose the wrong Country to commit their crimes in!! As I have said I don't know many Ladyboys so don't really understand them very well. Is it because they have to endure prejudice that makes them turn to crime? Are a higher than normal percentage of them crooked? Or is it just because they are different that the criminal ones get noticed more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvdkeyes Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I suspect ladyboys turn to crime because of various reasons. One might be that it is difficult for them to get regular jobs. The hormones they take do make them act a little weird at times too. When I was working I encountered several ladyboys and some of them told me the hormones make then feel "dingy".
