Beijing: A Chinese official with a local
legislature in the country's central Henan province has been
sacked and expelled from the Communist Party of China by the
discipline inspection commission for involvement in a sex
scandal.

standing committee of People's Congress of Ruyang county in
Henan province and expelled from the Communist Party of China,
