We’re sure many husbands who’ve had their wives hit on would love to do this.

A government official based in Shenzhen’s Luohu District was beaten up Saturday by the husband of a woman he is accused of sexually assaulting, according to Shenzhen Economic Daily (via Shenzhen Daily).

The deputy chief, surnamed He, works in Zhongmin Times Square on Sungang Road East. The sexual assault is said to have taken place on December 14.

The husband, a 28-year-old surnamed Qin who works in Guangzhou, found that his wife had used contraception pills. Qin checked text messages and records on the Wechat messaging service and microblogs before Wei admitted that she had been assaulted when she was drunk.

According to a family friend, the couple hoped that He would report being beaten up to police. He didn’t, but the official says he reported it to the bureau he worked for. He denies all wrongdoing.

This is not the first alleged sex offense by a Shenzhen government official in recent years.

In April last year, government official Wu Jianqiang, sexually assaulted a woman surnamed Xiao in a bedroom connected to Wu’s office after he called her to a meeting on April 25, Global Times reported.

The government has since banned officials from drinking alcohol during the workday, according to the Shenzhen Economic Daily.
