An acupuncturist in Vietnam is touting a ‘ear-based’ virginity test. So convinced of her prowess, that the govt has set free 3 convicted rapists because they had some red spots on the back of their ears.

Since the method’s inception, Hong has established a quite a fan base; however, her clientele consists mostly of convicted rapists who swear they are innocent and have the dots to prove it. Hong’s “revolutionary” new practice has already led to the “exoneration” of three jailed rapists who were convicted for gang-raping a 20-year-old woman.

“They all had small red spots on the back of their ears. The spots should have disappeared if they had had sex. My many years of experience told me that these men did not have sex before.”

Hong believed in the men’s innocence and even threatened to light herself on fire in order to get their case their case reexamined. It worked. After serving 10 years of a 16-year sentence, the three men were released.
