#Celebrity Li was placed in administrative detention for multiple instances of soliciting prostitution#
On September 11, while people were still enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the police issued a notice stating that, during the investigation of an illegal and criminal case, they had apprehended actor Li, male, 35, who confessed to multiple instances of soliciting prostitution and has since been placed under administrative detention in accordance with the law.
Due to Li’s significant public influence, the related topic quickly trended on social media, attracting widespread attention.When a celebrity’s image collapses, the brands they endorse are the ones that suffer the most. Numerous companies have issued statements announcing the termination of their collaborations with Li [Last Name] and severing all ties with him. His previously released film and television works have also been greatly affected.
Although soliciting prostitution is only an administrative violation and generally does not constitute a crime, it is typically punishable by administrative detention of up to 15 days; repeated instances of solicitation may result in administrative detention of up to 20 days, along with a fine of up to 5,000 yuan. However, if the act of soliciting prostitution involves multiple individuals and minors, it may constitute a criminal offense.
Mainstream media have also been reporting on this matter, with China News Service commenting:Not crossing the moral bottom line and not violating the legal red line are the basic principles of being a person. As a public figure, Li Yifeng should be even more aware of the underlying principles. However, after the illegal act occurred, Li Yifeng not only failed to earnestly reflect on his wrongdoing but also sought to “downplay serious matters and let minor ones fade away,” attempting through various actions to erase the evidence of hisIllegal.
Failing to repent after making a mistake is even more unforgivable than the mistake itself.
