Chinese husband gets $3,500 from wife’s lover after catching couple in bed, charged with blackmail

A 33-year-old man in China who was sentenced to six months in prison for blackmailing his wife’s lover after catching the couple in bed has cleared his name.

The Shandong Provincial High Court earlier this year ordered the Intermediate People’s Court of Zibo – a city in Shandong, eastern China – to review the case.

On October 8, the husband, surnamed Lu, was found not guilty, Huashang News reported.

In March 2021, Lu noticed that his wife spent a long time getting dressed to take their daughter to her private tutor.

His suspicions were aroused, so he followed her to a hotel where he found her in one of the rooms having sex with a man.

The enraged man used his mobile phone to film his wife, who was wearing sexy lingerie, with her lover who was naked. He then punched the man and kicked his wife.
