Some netizens broke the news that after two years, Liu Qiangdong and Mingzhou female college students reopened the investigation and will hold a public hearing in the United States.
It is reported that the latest developments in Liu Qiangdong's case have been reported after two years, and a public hearing is scheduled to be held in the United States on April 25. Hearing time: 4-5 PM (Central Time) 5-6 AM (Beijing time). The hearing revolved around a motion by Mr. Liu that his lawyers apply to the court to prevent JINGYAO lawyers from asking some questions about Mr. Liu's written testimony next month. According to the information on the court's website, JINGYAO himself may appear in court.
On September 2, 2018, Liu Qiangdong was arrested in Minnesota, USA, on suspicion of sexually assaulting female college students.
On the afternoon of the same day, a screenshot of the Internet circulated on the Internet Chinese today, showing that Liu Qiangdong, founder and CEO of JD.com, was arrested by local police in Minnesota, USA, for sexually assaulting female college students. In response to the news circulating on the Internet, JD.com responded externally: This is a false accusation. JD Group responded to the outside world, "Today, we have noticed that some users on Weibo are spreading some false rumors about Mr. Liu Qiangdong. Hereby declare that Mr. Liu Qiangdong has encountered false allegations during his business activities in the United States, and after investigation by the local police, no misconduct has been found, and he will continue his trip as originally planned. We will take necessary legal action against false reports or rumors. ”
However, today, it seems that this matter is most likely a statement within JD.com in order to cover up the chaos, and these quite official responses now seem to be self-defeating.
Here are some reasons
According to screenshots circulated online, Minsonida State Police recorded the name Liu, QiangDong man's birthday, March 10, 1973. The financial network query found that in the book "The Secret of Jingdong: Liu Qiangdong and His Jingdong Mall", Liu Qiangdong's birthday was March 10, 1973.
In the early morning of December 22, 2018, Beijing time, the Hennepin County Prosecutor's Office in Minneapolis announced the results of the investigation into the Liu Qiangdong incident and decided not to prosecute. This also means that the case is officially closed and Liu Qiangdong is not guilty.
However, even if Liu Qiangdong does not have to be sentenced, even if Liu Qiangdong can use money to get it, it has become an established fact that he has had a relationship with the woman.
On December 22, Beijing time, after the Hennepin County Prosecutor's Office in Minneapolis, the United States, announced that it would not file any charges against Liu Qiangdong, CEO of JD.com, more details of Liu Qiangdong's case surfaced.
Jill Brisbois, Liu Qiangdong's lawyer, said in a public statement on the facts of the case that the woman invited Liu Qiangdong to her apartment, and everything that happened in the room was voluntary.
In the afternoon and evening of the same day, the woman sent several text messages to Liu Qiangdong's assistant asking to meet with him. In the end, Liu Qiangdong agreed to meet the woman at the location of her choice, the Carlson School of Business. But Liu Qiangdong was arrested by the police not long after he arrived at the school building.
Subsequently, Liu Qiangdong cooperated with the investigation of law enforcement departments. After about 16 hours, he was released unconditionally.
It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned public statement also emphasized that the woman had repeatedly communicated and asked for money, and threatened to make the matter public and prosecute Liu Qiangdong if her requirements were not met.
After the results of the case were announced, Liu Qiangdong publicly stated that in any case, his behavior on the day of the incident caused great harm to the family, especially his wife, and he felt very remorseful and regretful for this.
That is to say, in fact, Liu Qiangdong has admitted to having a relationship with the woman, but in the past 4 years, because of the evidence problem, the trial has only reopened. In fact, the problem also occurs simply, that is, to see if it involves going against the woman's wishes.
A relevant lawyer once pointed out after the case, "Assuming that the conviction is really to be made, according to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, it should be decided by the local court in the United States and served in a local prison in the United States." Since the database of criminal records is not shared between China and the United States, the criminal record in the United States does not have any direct impact on the work and life of the parties in China. ”
Liu Qiangdong, 48, is one of the top business leaders in China. On June 18, 1998, at the age of 24, he founded Jingdong Company in Zhongguancun, acting as an agent for the sale of optomagnetic products and starting as the general manager. On April 6, 2020, Liu Qiangdong ranked 89th in the "Hurun Top 100 Global Entrepreneurs" with a wealth of 95 billion yuan.
Liu Qiangdong is married, and in October 2015, he and Zhang Zetian held a wedding in Australia. In 2016, Zhang Zetian gave birth to a child for him.
It is also rumored on the Internet that Liu Qiangdong has an ex-wife named Gong Xiaojing. In 1998, he partnered with Liu Qiangdong to start a business, mainly selling software in Zhongguancun. On June 18, 1998, when Jingdong Company was established, Liu Qiangdong, a 1992 undergraduate student of Chinese Min University, fell in love with Gong Xiaojing, an alumnus of the 1998 master's degree. According to a previous report by Southern Weekend, the word "Dong" was taken from Liu Qiangdong, and "Jing" was taken from Gong Xiaojing's name.
