It's hard to imagine that an Internet celebrity blogger who keeps pets for fitness and does charity will be the "executioner" who persecuted hundreds of young girls, the youngest of whom is only 13 years old.
If it weren't for the broadcast of a Hong Kong TV program "Looking Around", thousands of girls might still be kept in the dark by this Internet celebrity with a beastly heart.
What means did this Internet celebrity use to persecute these girls, and what was the final outcome?
The dark side behind influencers
Recently, a popular TV show in Hong Kong, "Looking Around", with five episodes in a row, exposed a heinous Internet celebrity. The Hong Kong man named Xie Mou, who has the aura of "Internet celebrity", has attracted tens of thousands of young women on social media with his muscular figure, handsome appearance and dazzling mansion life.
Who would have thought that this seemingly sunny and positive Internet celebrity was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and as early as 8 years ago, he started the road of crime. He relied on his handsome appearance and fitness figure to create a positive Internet celebrity image on social media, not only gentle and considerate and handsome, but also caring, and participated in many charity activities.
It was this false image that deceived the hearts of many young girls, and they took the initiative to pursue him. Xie also did not refuse to come, and took the initiative to invite the girls who pursued him to date together. However, once the prey is brought to the appointment, Xie will reveal his prototype and use violence or threats to sexually assault the innocent girl.
Moreover, after Xie committed the atrocities, he often "took pictures" to threaten those girls and told them not to report to the police, even if these girls dared to speak out on the Internet, they would be lost because of Xie's influence.
Finally, someone couldn't stand Xie's actions, and mustered up the courage to expose Xie's evil deeds to the famous Hong Kong program "Looking Around".
Many people in Hong Kong know that if they dare not report something to the police, and they don't want to let the perpetrators go unpunished, it is right to look for "Looking Around".
This show is not like ordinary self-media that only exposes, they will also assist the victims, help find lawyers and resources, seek help from the Hong Kong government, and seek justice for the victims.
With the broadcast of the show, Xie's true face was revealed scene by scene, and many netizens were in an uproar.
Well-known Internet celebrities were exposed
Speaking of the deception methods of this Internet celebrity surnamed Xie, it is really staggering. He will share pictures of himself raising pets, exercising and doing charity on social platforms, creating a positive image full of love. At the same time, he "inadvertently" posted the lifestyle of a private mansion to show off his image as a rich son. With this set of deception tricks and tall and handsome appearance, Xie quietly bewitched countless innocent and simple young women.
In the eyes of many fans, Xie is a golden and kind-hearted "warm big brother", this character has also attracted many little fans, Xie sometimes interacts with fans and creates a gentle and generous image, so as to induce many girls to be tempted by him. But when they are deceived into this extremely dangerous trap, they completely "fall into the wolf's den".
One victim recalled bitterly in the show that at first, Xie pretended to be unwell and tricked her into going to his house to deliver medicine. But as soon as he entered, the door was locked, Xie tore off his mask, pounced on the kind-hearted girl, and then forcibly violated her. During this period, the girl heard his mother coming home and hurriedly knocked on the door in the room to ask for help, but Xie was even more presumptuous, and Xie's mother was obviously at home, but ignored her call for help.
Thinking back to that terrible scene, she still has lingering palpitations. Only later did she know that the mother and son had already been together, and Xie's mother was obedient to her son's actions and had no complaints. Not only that, Xie's mother would also take advantage of Xie to sneak through the things brought by the victim when Xie violated the victim and looted all the valuable property.
What is even more disturbing is that Xie's criminal targets include a number of underage girls. A 13-year-old victim cried over the phone that Xie forced her to have sex even though he knew she was still a minor, and filmed the whole process with his mobile phone, intending to make further threats.
Regarding the words and deeds of this Internet celebrity Hong Kong man, his girlfriend is actually an insider. Although she didn't participate much in Xie's evil deeds, she didn't expose Xie, and she, like Xie's mother, chose to watch from the sidelines.
She said on the show: In fact, there are many victims, and she doesn't know how to face them.
After revealing the filling, the true face is revealed
Faced with the face-to-face confrontation of the program team, this tiger in sheep's clothing finally revealed his ferocious nature. Not only did he quibble that the two parties were "you love me", and that the relationship with those female fans was voluntary, but he also shamelessly denied that he had taken other people's indecent videos as a threat.
But in the following quibbles, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he revealed a shocking inside story: his absurd criminal behavior had been going on for 8 years. In these 8 years, he has had relationships with more than 200 women. But these women were all "voluntary", and he did not force anyone.
Such rampant and arrogant words and deeds have finally completely annoyed the people of Hong Kong. For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and more victims also came forward to expose Xie's crime. According to reports, in recent months, Xie has lured more than 20 young girls to his home and assaulted them, including 13- and 14-year-old girls and new HKDSE candidates. In the face of such a horrific crime, the people of the whole city were indignant.
Xie also realized that his disguise might not be able to hold on. As of April 19, at least six of the victims had the courage to report the incident to the police. One of the girls suspected that she had been infected with a venereal disease and was still waiting for the results of the hospital examination.
However, there are also some victims who are afraid that their indecent videos will be leaked and choose to remain silent. Of the "more than 200 girls" revealed by Xie, only a dozen or so came forward to identify Xie.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Hong Kong police immediately opened a case to investigate the incident and began to arrest Xie, who planned to flee from the Lok Ma Chau port to Shenzhen in an attempt to escape the punishment of the law.
Fortunately, the police even discovered his whereabouts and intercepted Xie before he escaped from Hong Kong.
In the end, the felony was resentenced
From Xie, the police arrested him and his mother on the spot. According to the police report, Xie was arrested on suspicion of "rape", "procuring illegal sexual acts by threats or intimidation", "voyeurism" and "indecent assault", while his mother was charged with theft.
The Hong Kong police said there was reason to believe that the actual number of victims was higher than the number of people who had been reported. After all, many victims may be reluctant or afraid to speak out for various reasons, and it takes time to clear the psychological shadows. However, as long as the victims have the courage to come forward, the police will do their best to investigate the case thoroughly, provide them with appropriate support and information confidentiality services, and give all the victims an explanation as much as possible and give them a fair and just outcome.
With the development of the investigation of Xie, the police found that as early as 2011, the then 15-year-old Xie had lured a 13-year-old girl home to take nude films and commit indecent assault, and was arrested and imprisoned in a labor camp for reform, and not long after Xie came out in 2020, he followed a 14-year-old minor victim to the downstairs of the victim's unit, and sexually harassed him in the garbage room, and was subsequently charged with "loitering" and "indecent assault" and sentenced to 33 months in prison.
It can be seen that Xie has been repeating crimes since he was a teenager, but the previous cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Xie is obviously a habitual offender, and it is not even the first time he has entered, if he is not severely punished by the law, how many innocent girls will be harmed? Fortunately, under the joint supervision of the public and the media, the police finally pierced this seemingly caring "Internet celebrity" this time and found out his eight-year criminal history.
Strengthen social supervision
Looking at the whole incident, it is not difficult to find how much hidden danger cybercrime has brought to our lives, especially the harm to young people. Criminals take advantage of the characteristics of online virtual platforms to forge personas and create gorgeous illusions, which can easily deceive victims and carry out illegal and criminal acts against victims. In the face of this new type of crime, it is necessary for our society to heighten vigilance and strengthen the corresponding supervision and crackdown.
At the same time, the government and parents should provide adequate protection and education to minors. Keep them away from cybercrime and have a safe and healthy environment to grow up in. Only when we work together can we bring more sunshine to society and dispel the haze of evil.
epilogue
This appalling case caused by Internet celebrities is undoubtedly a concrete portrayal of the current online environment. Even in sunny places, there can be dark corners that lurk unguarded. We look forward to more and more forces like "Looking Around" that dare to look directly at the dark side of society and support the people, so that the sunshine of justice will shine in every corner. At the same time, I also hope that there will be fewer and fewer fake Internet celebrities like Xie Mou, and even people who do illegal things in the guise of Internet celebrities, and return our Internet to a pure sky.
At the same time, when we come into contact with the network environment, we should also be vigilant, keep our eyes open, pay attention to screening, do not give lawbreakers a chance, and believe that all lawbreakers will eventually bow their heads like the law.
