A Beijing-based model was sentenced earlier this week to nine months in jail for impersonating a police officer after she posted several photos of herself dressed in a revealing police uniform to a social networking site.

23-year-old ? Xiaomeng uploaded a series of suggestive photos that she said were taken as part of a promotional shoot for an detective novel.

Hundreds of Sina Weibo users commented on the set, with only a handful taking offense to their content. But that was apparently enough for government officials who instructed the police to arrest ? for impersonation.

"The costume was just a prop, I was so ignorant," she pleaded in court, but to no avail. ? was found guilty and sentenced to nine months behind bars.

Happily, ? won't actually have to spend any time in jail, as the sentence was subsequently suspended for a year.

Still, many remain unimpressed with how the matter was handled, and have taken to Weibo to say as much.
