Photographer arrested for molesting 6-year-old German girl

A 46-year-old photographer has been arrested for molesting a 6-year-old German girl, prosecutors in Huangpu District said on Tuesday.

The suspect, Li Botao, allegedly told police he had “acted on impulse.”

According to prosecutors, the girl was hired to be a model by a local photo studio on Xizang Road S. in Huangpu District in December. Her mother took her to the studio on December 27. Li was appointed as the photographer with a female dresser also working with the girl, prosecutors said.

After the girl’s mother left to see the pictures that had already been taken in another room, Li asked the dresser to fetch some clothes downstairs and then molested the girl, prosecutors said.

The girl later told her mother that the photographer had touched her private parts and the mother immediately called the police. She also complained to the studio's manager.

Li was detained by police the next day but kept denying the accusation at first out of a sense of shame. He later told police he failed to resist the temptation to touch the pretty girl when he saw her lying on the bed with no one in the room, according to prosecutors.
