A Shanghai official detained for copping a feel of a fellow commuter on a Metro Line 9 train on 29 June has been expelled from the Communist Party and fired from his job after his creepy misdeeds were caught on camera.
The 38-year-old offender was identified by web users as Wang Qikang, an executive at the state-owned Jinjiang Shanghai travel agency, after a video of the incident went viral online.
He has since claimed that the public indiscretion was an accident, a slip committed in his sleep — twice. Police have reported that Wang had been drinking when he twice deliberately touched the woman’s thigh.
The victim, a 21-year-old Taiwanese girl, had registered the unwanted attention but could not tell who the transgressor was, and so did not report the incident.
Wang, facing national humiliation as a result of the scandal, disconnected his phone to avoid public anger, although his wife has been unable to escape the torrent of angry phone calls. “They should target me, not my wife,” he said.
