Sex-slave gets probation in theft Lian Mei, who drugged her abusive sexual partner, a foreigner, and stole cash, cell phones and other property, was sentenced to three years' probation yesterday. The court accepted her account of sexual violence and ruled the robbery was not premeditated. Lian, 35, said she was unable to bear the sadomasochistic violence of her foreign lover, Wouly Francis Pau, who arrived from Europe; his nationality was not disclosed. She said she came from Liaoning to Shanghai last December to buy clothing and cosmetics and met him in a bar. On hearing the court's sentence, Lian wept because she hadn't expected to be released. As long as she doesn't break the law during the probation period, she won't be imprisoned. When she met Pau she spoke enthusiastically, though her English was not very good. She later admitted that because a friend had a foreign boyfriend, she wanted one too, although she has been divorced. They had sex that night in Pau's residence and then lived together. Lian soon found that Pau, a baker, was nine years her senior and enjoyed violent sex. She said she was often abused and tortured. She tried to break up and asked Pau to give her some money - he refused, saying men never pay ex-girlfriends. Lian didn't leave; instead she put sleeping powder into Pau's wine to avoid a night of torture so that she could escape. Then she decided to take 5,800 yuan (US$716) cash, a laptop computer, a digital camera and two mobile phones. She fled to Shenyang.
