According to the content of the contract signed by the crew with him at that time, the court ruled that Jiang Zhiyan had to pay a liquidated damages of 3.05 billion yuan and another 1.68 billion yuan in damages; in addition, he and the former brokerage company also had to jointly compensate 610 million yuan in compensation, so he had to give the minimum amount of 4.73 billion yuan and the maximum amount of 5.34 billion yuan to the production company, and fell to the bottom due to the sexual assault.
Regarding the case of Jiang Zhiyan's sexual assault, after the dinner held by the company in July 2019, he continued to find 2 female employees to drink at home, and sneaked into the other party's room while everyone was sleeping in the middle of the night, and sexually assaulted A and sexually disturbed B. According to the police, A took the opportunity to send a text message to a friend: "I drank at the home of the entertainer Jiang Zhiyi, and now I am locked up here... Please help me call the police." The police arrived at Jiang's house less than an hour after receiving the report, and after hearing A say that he had been violated, they urgently arrested Jiang Zhiwan.
During the trial, although he provided a CCTV complaint at home, saying that he was drunk and unconscious at the time, two victims moved him to the room, and while he was asleep, the two victims went to take a shower and wore only underwear to visit his home when he finished washing. However, the court rejected his claims and, according to the original judgment, declared Jiang Zhiyan guilty of sexual assault and harassment.
