China Rape Arrest
Allegations of rape against a Yongcheng city official have been circulating on Chinese microblogs.

Not much information has been released on this story, especially concerning the role of netizens in venting their anger, however the press releases I've read all seem to insinuate that the arrest was a result of anger on the Chinese internet.
