Source: Supreme People's Court
(1) Basic case
At about 0:00 on May 23, 2013, the defendants Dong Qi and Guo Moumou (handled in another case) went over the wall and entered the west campus of a middle school in Botou City, Hebei Province, and jumped out of the window to enter the girls’ dormitory.
Dong Qi used violent and coercive methods such as slapped neck, slapped, verbal threats, and successively stripped off the clothes of the six girls of the victim Zhang XX, Zhao XX, Tian XX, Wang XX, Hu XX, and Wang XX.
Forcibly committed adultery, in which, in addition to the attempted rape of Wang Moujia, the rape of the other five victims was completed.
Among the six victims, Wang Moujia had just turned 14 years old, and
the other five victims were all under 14 years old.
Referee result
The People's Procuratorate of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province prosecuted the defendant Dong Qi for rape. The Intermediate People's Court of Cangzhou City found that Dong Qi raped several underage girls and used violence and coercion against the will of women to forcibly rape the victim Wang Moujia as a crime of rape. The crime charged by the public prosecution agency was established.
The victims Zhang Moumou, Zhao Moumou, Tian Moumou, Hu Moumou, Wang Moumou were all under the age of 14. Dong Qi continuously committed adultery on the above five underage girls and should be severely punished.
However, Dong Qi's attempted rape of the victim Wang Moujia can be given
a lighter punishment compared to the completed offender. In accordance with the
provisions of Article 236, paragraphs 1, 2, and 3, paragraph 2, Article 23 and
Article 57, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China,
the defendant Qi was sentenced to death for rape, suspended for two years and
deprived of political rights for life.
After the judgment was announced, there was no appeal or
protest within the statutory time limit. After the Hebei Provincial Higher
People's Court reviewed in accordance with the law, it agreed to approve the
original judgment.
Typical meaning
This case is a rape crime committed against school girls. The crime took place in a special place and occurred in the school girls’ dormitory. After the defendant Dong Qi entered the female dormitory by climbing over the wall and climbing the window, he committed crimes continuously and committed adultery on six underage girls.
The crime was particularly bad and the consequences were serious, which seriously affected the personal safety of the students. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, anyone who rapes a woman or commits adultery with several under-age girls shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment, or death.
Article 25 of the "Opinions on Punishment of Crimes of Sexual Violation of Minors" stipulates that: "Anyone who commits rape or indecent crimes against minors shall be punished severely, and those who have one of the following circumstances shall be punished severely according to law.
Entering a minor’s residence or a student dormitory to commit rape or indecent
crimes; "Considering the nature, circumstances and consequences of the
crime in this case, the Cangzhou Intermediate People’s Court sentenced Dong Qi
to death, suspended for two years, and deprived of political rights for life .
It is worth noting that on the night of the crime, there were more than a dozen girls in the dormitory where the victim was located, and none of them called for help or resisted during the crime.
In the meantime, when the teacher on duty rounds the ward, no students call the teacher for help, resulting in failure to detect and stop the defendant’s criminal behavior in time.
The reason is that the victims are still young and have a very weak sense of self-protection. This warns that minors’ parents and schools should increase education on minors’ self-protection awareness, strengthen school safety facilities and safety supervision measures, and avoid similar tragedies.
The Rape of Bai Junfeng
Defendant Bai Junfeng, male, 27 years old, farmer. On
suspicion of rape, he was arrested on July 27, 1995.
The People’s Procuratorate of Yixian County, Liaoning
Province filed a public prosecution with the Yixian County People’s Court for
the rape of the defendant Bai Junfeng.

trial:
The defendant Bai Junfeng and the victim Yao XX were married on October 1, 1994. After the marriage, the relationship between the couple was not good, and they had frequent quarrels.
Yao Moumou returned to
live in her natal family on February 27, 1995 and filed a divorce request with
Bai Junfeng. After mediation by the village committee, the two parties had a
dispute over the amount of the gift to be returned, and no agreement was
reached.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening on May 2, 1995, the defendant Bai Junfeng went to Yao's house to ask Yao XX for a betrothal gift. The two parties agreed that they would find a middleman the next day, and then Bai Junfeng went home.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Bai Junfeng went to Yao's house again.
Yao Moumou said to Bai Junfeng: "Didn't I have already said it, tomorrow I will find a middleman to solve it?"
He took off his clothes and went to sleep on the kang. Upon seeing this, Bai Junfeng also undressed to live in Yao's house. Father Yao said: "Xiaohong, you go back to old Bai's house." Bai Junfeng said: "No, it's late." At this time, Yao XX sat up from the bed and wanted to dress. Bai Junfeng pushes Yao down and wants to have sex with him.
Yao Moumou refused to allow him and went into prison with Bai. Bai Junfeng rode on Yao, grabbed Yao's underwear, Yao grabbed Bai Junfeng's hair. Bai Junfeng picked up the scissors and cut Yao's underwear.
Yao Moumou picked up the scissors and wanted to tie Bai Junfeng, but Bai Junfeng snatched it and threw it away, and then forcibly had sex with Yao.
Yao Moumou continued
to fight with Bai, holding his white hair, and tearing the white vest. Bai
Junfeng knocked Yao XX down and tied Yao's hand with a belt.
After receiving the report from Yao's father, Chen Moumou, the village health care director, came to Yao's house and saw Bai Junfeng lying on Yao Moumou outside the window and coughed.
When Bai Junfeng heard it in the house, he shouted, "We are working on errands! Whoever wants to see it, come in!" Chen Moumou came into the house and said, "You couple, hurry up and go to the village when you are done."
After being untied, he
returned to the village committee and called Bai Junfeng and Yao to go to the
village committee on the radio. During this time, Bai Junfeng forcibly had sex
with Yao Moumou for the second time. Bai Junfeng ravaged Yao for more than five
hours, causing Yao to fall into a coma due to convulsions and was rescued by a
doctor. The Yao family paid 301.8 yuan for medical expenses.

Zhejiang University Nuerte rape case, the court has a law to follow
Efforts to make the people feel fairness and justice in every
judicial case is an inherent requirement and intended meaning of the
construction of a society under the rule of law. Although the law gives judges
the discretionary space, this space is set to reflect fairness and justice. ,
By no means for other purposes.
In the past two days, Zhejiang University, a century-old
school, has been scolded in hot searches.
The reason is the result of the court decision in a rape case
and the school punishment decision.
Most netizens are annoyed that Nuerte Batel, a student at
Zhejiang University, has been sentenced to rape for only one and a half years,
and the sentence is suspended for one and a half years, which is equivalent to
not having to go to jail.
What is even more disgusting on Dawan.com is that Zhejiang
University only gave Nuertebaatar the sanction for detention, and the sanction
can be applied to be lifted when the sanction expires. For a while, public
complaints are boiling!
Everyone almost overwhelmingly thought that the court's
sentence was too light, and the school's sanctions were even more trifling!
When Mr. Wu Mo first saw the news, he felt the same as
everyone else. He was so angry that he wanted to yell at him. How could the
rapist be sentenced like this? Is there a King Fa?
However, to Mr. Wu Mo’s surprise, the court’s decision was actually legal and in compliance with the law.
After Wu Mojun searched a lot of
relevant legal information and read the posts of several major practicing
lawyers, he found the reason for the court's light sentence. Please listen to
Wu Mojun's analysis:
1. What is rape?
According to Article 263 of the Criminal Law: Whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years.
Anyone
who rapes a woman or rapes an underage girl in any of the following
circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten
years, life imprisonment, or death:
(1) The raping of women or the rape of underage girls has a
bad circumstance
(2) Many people rape women or rape young girls.
(3) Rape women in public in public places.
(4) Gang rape of two or more persons.
(5) Causing serious injury or death of the victim or causing
other serious consequences.
In addition, the Criminal Law also stipulates the
circumstances under which a lighter or mitigated punishment can be imposed:
(1) For the suspended offender, if no damage is caused, the
penalty shall be exempted; if the damage is caused, the penalty shall be
mitigated (excerpted from Article 24 of the Criminal Law).
(2) Criminals who surrender can be given a lighter or
mitigated punishment. Among them, those who commit a minor crime can be
exempted from punishment (excerpt from Article 67 of the Criminal Law).
2. Why is Nuertebaatar's sentence reduced?
We know from the legal provisions that the statutory penalty
for rape is three to ten years, and the lightest penalty is three years in
jail. Why is Nuerte Batel only sentenced to one and a half years?
According to the verdict [(2020) Zhejiang 0106 Xingchu No.
140 Criminal Judgment] circulated among the people, Nuerte is a crime
discontinued and has a surrender complex.
Here comes the point! Nuerte belongs to the discontinuation of the crime, that is to say, even if his criminal behavior caused harm to the girl in this case, article 24 of the Criminal Law still applies and the punishment should be mitigated.
And Nuertebaatar also voluntarily surrendered. According to Article 67 of the Criminal Law, the act of surrendering can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment.
A lighter, that is, the statutory sentence is three to ten
years, the minimum period that can be sentenced, three years.
Mitigation, that is, a reduction in the minimum sentence of
three years, can be sentenced to less than three years.
If the crime of rape meets the conditions for mitigation, the
final sentence should be less than 3 years, as is the case in Nuerte Batel.
3. How did the probation for one and a half years come?
The Criminal Law stipulates that criminals who have been sentenced to criminal detention and a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years can be probated if they meet the following conditions:
(1) The crime is relatively minor
(2) There is a repentance
(3) There is no danger of committing a crime
(4) The announcement of probation has no major adverse effects on the community in which they live.
Nuertebaatar was very lucky. He was able to meet the above
conditions for probation. He did not need to go through another year and a half
of prison life. He was released.
