Chinese police warns students and young girls against talking to strangers as several reports of abduction, rape and sexual slavery have been recorded for the past two months.
A self-styled "army man" was arrested for sexual slavery in China after allegedly abducting a college student for several months, the China Daily reported on Wednesday.

The third year college student reportedly met the suspect online in 2011 and agreed to meet with him February this year after believing the man to be a "Good Samaritan."
According to the report, the 22-year-old unnamed girl even helped the man arrange for a temporary accommodation in their area after he told her a story about losing sight in his right eye because of a heroic feat.
When they met at a hotel near her campus, the man began sexually assaulting her, initiating her months-long traumatic experience.
After a few days, the man took her to his sister's rented house nearby where she was threatened and repeatedly abused.
According to the girl, the man and his sister warned her not to tell anyone about what has been happening to her or else they will kill her and the rest of her family.
After gathering enough courage, she had escaped in April and returned to school where she was tracked down by her assailant three months later.
Her nightmare continued and became worse as she had been assaulted and beaten regularly, and more brutally especially when she mentioned going home.
Earlier in September, the man took her to Shandong province to keep her away from her family. Fortunately, she was able to getaway.
After seeing a girl, obviously beaten with her swollen leg and severely bruised eyes, local authorities decided to intervene and arrested the man, identified with a surname Gu, on September 13.
Her case came at a time when similar cases have become rampant, with police emphasizing awareness on female students' safety precautions.
Other cases occurred in August involving three girls close to her age in Chongqing, Jinan and Zhejiang province. Two out of the three had been killed while the other one was rescued after being raped and beaten by an unlicensed taxi driver.
On September 2, a 23-yer-old college girl in Henan was reported missing. After two days of search, she was later found dead in a well, while a 13-year-old from Shaanxi is still missing after vanishing on September 13.
