Male virginity test frees convicted rapists

n acupuncturist freed three men accused of rape in Vietnam after she conducted a male virginity test that proved they had red spots behind their ears–a sign that a man has never had sex, she says.

Pham Thi Hong, 54, a celebrity traditional medicine practitioner, spent four years trying to free three men who were accused of gang-raping a 20-year-old woman. She believed they were innocent after inspecting their ears and checking their pulse rates during a medical examination.

“They all had small red spots on the back of their ears,” said Hong. “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.” She said gay sex or masturbation wont make the spots disappear.

Prosecutors re-opened the case after Hong threatened to set herself on fire. Investigators found several flaws and released the three men who already served 10 years of their 16 year sentence.

Medical professionals remain skeptical of Hong’s “male virginity” test.
