In the mainland, many women, after being violated, may choose to rest in peace because they are afraid that their defiled things will be known to their families and that their reputations will be damaged, and they are unwilling to go to the police. In this way, many criminal suspects are left with impunity, and those who are not punished by the law may be more arrogant, which greatly endangers public safety.
But the thing we're going to talk about today happened in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, in 2008. After being violated, this girl bravely chose to call the police, ready to take up legal weapons to protect her legitimate rights and interests. However, what no one expected was that on the day of the court's verdict, the bad guy who raped her was duly punished, but she herself was also imprisoned. So, how did all this happen? What kind of secrets are hidden behind such a bizarre transformation?
It all started in the early hours of November 3, 2007. Li Li is a 17-year-old single woman who lives alone in a residential building in Taizhou City. She works as a waiter in a bar, working two shifts and only coming home in the early hours of the morning is the norm.
On this day, she worked until the early hours of the morning, dragging herself up the stairs full of exhaustion. But when she went upstairs, she heard footsteps behind her, which had been following her. Li Li was a little frightened, so she accelerated her pace and rushed to her door. Just as she was about to calmly pull out the key to open the door and prepare to enter, a pair of strong hands stopped her from closing the door.
Li Li turned back in horror and found that it was Jiang Wei, who was full of alcohol. This Jiang Wei is Li Li's neighbor to the door, and he usually takes a look at him occasionally, that is, the kind of familiar stranger who nods his head and passes. Seeing that it was her neighbor, Li Li's heart that jumped to her throat eyes was slightly recycled, and she thought that Jiang Wei must be drunk, so she walked through the wrong door unconsciously.
So she helped Jiang Wei and tried to send him back to the opposite door, but at this time, Jiang Wei played a rogue, threw off Li Li's hand and squeezed into her house. Li Li panicked for a moment and quickly told him that he had walked through the wrong door and now sent him back. But Jiang Wei didn't listen to her words at all, covering her mouth with one hand and closing the door with the other.
Li Li, who could not make a sound, could only muffled from her throat in despair, but in this silent night, most people had already fallen asleep, and no one heard her desperate voice. After that, Li Li was dragged into the house by Jiang Wei and forcibly had a relationship with her through the strength of the wine.
That night was chaotic and almost impossible to recall, and when reason and thought returned to Li Li's head again, the first rays of the morning sun had already shone through the thin curtains. Li Li looked at the chaotic room and herself, and despair and pain completely surrounded her.
Jiang Wei slowly woke up at this time, last night's wine had faded for the most part, but he clearly knew what he had done. He lifted his clothes and left Li Li's room slowly, and before leaving, he turned back viciously to warn the girl: "Don't call the police, otherwise, you are good-looking!" ”
After he left, Li Li sat alone in the empty room, stunned for a long time. During this time, the tears had already flowed on her face for an unknown number of times. The initial panic slowly turned into grievance and sadness, and then into irrepressible anger. She decided that she must not let go of the beastly guy, and must make him pay for it.
So Li Li hurried to the local police station to report to the police. She gave the detailed description of the case to the police, and then the police followed her back to the room, and sure enough, Jiang Wei's DNA was extracted in her room. At this point, the facts of the case were clear and the evidence was conclusive, and the police quickly arrested the criminal suspect Jiang Wei.
In the interrogation room, Jiang Wei did not hide too much, and he quickly confessed to the facts of his crime, which were basically consistent with Li Li's description. In this way, the case can be referred to the judiciary for further consideration.
The case went so smoothly, and the police also praised Li Li's behavior, because of her bravery, so that the bad guys can get the punishment they deserve. Next, it's time to wait for the case to go to trial.
During this period, Jiang Wei's parents also rushed from their hometown, and the first thing they thought of when they loved their son was not how to educate their sons, and reflected on what kind of mistakes they had made in his education to create today's situation. Instead, their most urgent thing is how to find a way to exonerate their son and save him from the law.
The first thing they thought of was the victim, Li Li. They knew that as long as Li Li wrote a letter of understanding and no longer pursued Jiang Wei's legal responsibility, then her son would most likely be exempt from punishment. Therefore, they found Li Li, knelt down in front of her with tears in their eyes, begged her to raise her noble hand, opened the net, and explained to the police that she had voluntarily had a relationship with Jiang Wei. They also told Li Li how difficult it was for them to pull him up with such a son as Jiang Wei, and if he went to prison, not only would the rest of his life be ruined, but their old two families would probably not be able to survive.
The two old men knelt in front of Li Li with tears in their eyes and snot and pleaded bitterly, if people who did not know the origin of the matter were expected to have deep sympathy for these two old people. But Li Li was still unmoved, and she also said with tears in her voice, "It's not easy for you to raise children, so why don't you ask your son, did he ever think about your difficulty when he did that kind of thing to me?" I am also human, I also have parents, and you think that if he is ruined after half of his life in prison, do you know that my life will have been ruined that night! Then my parents know all this, and how should they live?"
The Jiang family's parents saw that Li Li was not moved, and knew that begging and selling would not work, so they changed a set of strategies, and they said to Li Li: "You can rest assured, we will not talk about this matter, and you can still live your life normally in the future." As long as you tell the police that you are voluntary, we promise that our family will never appear in front of you again. Moreover, we are willing to compensate you with all the savings of our old couple, as long as you write a voluntary statement..."
Before they could finish speaking, Li Li was already furious: "You want to use money to buy my innocence?" No way! If your son does something bad, he should be punished, otherwise, there is no justice in this world! ”
The old couple saw that Li Li never let go, and could only leave in ashes. After that, they went to Li Li many times, saying that they were still the same set of words asking for forgiveness, and without exception, they were intimidated by Li Li.
Li Li took a resolute attitude and vowed to let Jiang Wei be punished by the law. What had been decided had been decided, but when the case was about to start, it took a 180-degree turn.
In March 2018, Jiang Wei's case went on schedule, but just a few minutes before the trial, the judge received a note handwritten by Li Li, the victim of the case. After reading the content, the judge couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, because it said that Li Li had a relationship with Jiang Wei that night, and everything was her own wishes, not a forced proof.
This made the judge suddenly embarrassed, the facts were clear, the evidence was conclusive, and the suspect was about to be thrown into prison, but the plaintiff suddenly did not sue, and said that everything was her own voluntary, which was the first time he had seen this situation. What caught him even more off guard was that Jiang Wei in the defendant's seat also suddenly retracted his confession and did not admit to the rape.
Both men suddenly retracted their confessions, and their statements were basically the same, as if they had been discussed, and the judge felt that there must be something wrong with the matter. So he announced the temporary termination of the trial, postponed the trial, and the case was transferred back to the police station.
The police judged through the evidence they already had that Jiang Wei's rape of Li Li was indeed a fact, and Li Li's sudden change of opinion was definitely another hidden plot. Moreover, Li Li and Jiang Wei had basically no friendship before, and if a girl volunteered to have that kind of relationship with someone she basically didn't know, no one would believe it. The first thing they thought about was whether Li Li had been coerced, so they painstakingly persuaded Li Li not to be afraid, and if they were really threatened by anything, they would speak out boldly, and they would protect her safety.
But Li Li insisted that she was not coerced and that everything was voluntary. This made the police officer who talked to her scratch his head even more, if not coercion, then what exactly made her change her decision?
After some persuasion and thorough questioning, in the end, it was a little girl who had not experienced much in the world, and Li Li told the police the real reason for her change of attitude, not coercion, not inducement, but because of love.
After that incident, Li Li fell into a long period of sadness and self-loathing, depressed every day, unable to lift her spirits in anything. At this time, she met a boy named Wang Ming, in his early 20s, who looked sunny and handsome, and his personality was also masculine with gentleness, especially taking care of people.
They spent some time together as friends, during which Wang Ming's cheerful personality brought a lot of joy to Li Li, and also let her slowly walk out of the haze of that incident and began to face her life positively again. At this time, Wang Ming expressed his heart to her, saying that he liked her and wanted to take care of her for a lifetime.
Li Li, who carried such a heavy past, originally felt that she might not have love again in this life, so although Li Li had a good feeling for Wang Ming before, she never wanted to confess to him, and she did not dare to have any future with him. But when he took the initiative to say that he liked it, although there were all kinds of concerns, Li Li really couldn't resist with all his heart, and he nodded involuntarily.
Wang Ming was very happy. They are tired of being together every day like many sweet little couples, and Wang Ming, who has become a boyfriend, has become more caring than before, greeting Li Li every day and caring about her diet and living. At that time, Li Li felt that Wang Ming was an angel sent to her by heaven, so that after experiencing such a tragic thing, she could have a bright future with her beloved.
But this also made her psychological burden even heavier, and she always felt that she had to find an opportunity to confess that matter to Wang Ming. And their relationship developed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to talk about marriage. One day, Li Li finally made up her mind and said that thing to Wang Ming.
To her consternation, Wang Ming neither had the anger she imagined, nor did she propose to break up, but was silent for a while and said to her: "Okay, I know, this matter is not your fault." I'll be doubly good to you in the future."
Li Li, who heard this, was touched and rushed up to hug the man who loved her deeply. When she calmed down, Wang Ming said something to her that made her unbelievable: "Actually, I already know about this matter." Jiang Wei and I have been good buddies for more than ten years, and he has done that kind of thing to you, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Li couldn't listen anymore, and she turned and ran away in horror. But after calming down, her inseparable love gradually prevailed. Just then Wang Ming came to her again and said to her, "You believe me, I am not approaching you for other purposes, at first, I just wanted to atone for his sins, I originally thought I could comfort you, but I spent some time with you to find that I could not help but fall in love with you." However, you see, we are about to get married, but my relationship with Jiang Wei will still not look up in the future. Just look at my face and let him go, okay? ”
Li Li wanted to refuse, but in the face of Wang Ming, all her determination was slightly broken. Wang Ming promised that as soon as the matter of this lawsuit was resolved, they would marry immediately. After a fierce ideological struggle, she submitted the so-called voluntary certificate to the court.
Of course, reality has never been a fairy tale fortress of love stories, and Wang Ming is not an angel, but a devil who tries to push Li Li into the abyss again with sweet words. He is a friend of Jiang Wei, but what can't help but fall in love with Li Li is just a lie, he is just a lobbyist found by the Jiang family's parents.
The old couple who were bent on rescuing their son saw that Li Li was soft and hard and did not eat, so they came up with a trick to let Wang Ming go to Li Li to perform the "beautiful male plan". Their trick really worked, and the little girl who fell into love and couldn't extricate herself really fell into their trap.
Everything came to light, and the case was tried again. This time, Jiang Wei was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison for rape, while Wang Ming and Jiang's father, Jiang Mu, were each sentenced to 6 months in prison for obstructing testimony. The most regrettable thing is that Li Li, who was originally physically and mentally injured, was sentenced to 5 months of detention for the crime of concealment.
What makes people sigh is that even Li Li, who is already in prison, still believes that Wang Ming truly loves her and still holds the hope of hope. But Wang Ming is different, he said that there is no possibility of love for Li Li, some are just guilt and remorse. When he first faced Jiang Wei's parents' request for help, he could not ignore the brotherhood and agreed, and he did not expect to bring greater harm to other girls.
Love is the most fascinating thing in the world, but if this purest feeling is cloaked in hypocrisy, it will become the most hurtful sword, poking at people's hearts. We really can't bear to criticize Li Li, but the law has its own justice, and no one can be allowed to exploit loopholes or children's plays. In real life, we still have to keep a sober mind at all times, in the face of illegal infringement, we must bravely take up the legal weapon to protect our rights and interests, only in this way can we return to a normal life, and can we return to a clear and peaceful world.
