A man named Xu, who works as an airport shuttle, met a 14-year-old girl through a friend's introduction. After the two met to go to the night market last year, Xu pretended to take the girl home, but instead drove him to his residence in Bade, Taoyuan, and forcibly carried the girl upstairs for two seconds. Xu succeeded in forced sexual intercourse, biting the girl's neck and forcing her to "grow strawberries" during the process. The Taoyuan District Court recently found two adults intentionally guilty of forced sexual intercourse on a juvenile. Xu Nan was sentenced to 4 years and 10 months in prison, and the combined sentence should be 6 years and 10 months.
Xu Nan and the girl were introduced to each other by a friend in November of the previous year. On the evening of December 20 of the same year, they met for the first time to visit the Zhongli Night Market. Afterwards, Xu Nan said that he would ride a motorcycle to take the girl home. Unexpectedly, he rode back to his residence, saying, "I want to rest first before I take you home." Afterwards, despite the girl's refusal and request to return home, Xu Nan went straight to the house. He then carried the girl on his shoulders and forced him into the house. He sexually assaulted the girl twice in the early morning and early morning of the next day. In the process, he not only bit the girl's neck, but also asked the girl to "plant strawberries" on his neck. The girl took the opportunity to run to Xu Nan's living room to get back her charged mobile phone. He first contacted her family to pick her up and told her mother that Xu Nan had treated her inappropriately.
During the trial at the Taoyuan District Court, Xu Nan only admitted that he had consensual sex once in the early morning, and denied any forced intercourse and sexual assault twice in the early morning. His defender also questioned that if the girl was sexually assaulted, she should be frightened and alert and seek help in time. How could she sleep with Xu Nan until morning, which is inconsistent with common sense.
However, the judge compared the hospital's injury diagnosis and found that the girl had multiple abrasions on both sides of her neck, new lacerations on her perineum, and anal erythema, which was consistent with the girl's allegations of being bitten on the neck and being held against her will. After the girl was released, she immediately summoned her mother, "I was just raped, and I want to call the police." Subsequently, she developed traumatic symptoms such as insomnia and depression, and had to continue to the mental and physical department for treatment.
As for the defender's question about how the girl would continue to sleep with Xu Nan if she was sexually assaulted, the judge believed that when victims of sexual assault face sudden trauma, they are often overwhelmed by fear, helplessness or environmental constraints. They have no fixed reaction pattern and the stereotype of a "perfect victim" should not be imposed on the victim. Moreover, the girl's previous and subsequent testimonies are consistent, with no obvious contradictions or major flaws, and there are no abstract or exaggerated plots, indicating that they are not fiction or fabrication.
It was considered that Xu Nan committed the crime in order to fulfill his own selfish desires and took advantage of the opportunity to meet the girl on a date, which seriously violated the girl's right to physical and sexual autonomy and caused indelible physical and mental trauma. It was worthy of censure. In addition, Xu Nan had violated the child and juvenile sexual exploitation prevention regulations and obstructed sexual autonomy in the past. After the crime, he always denied the crime and failed to reconcile with the victim's family. According to the crime of two adults intentionally forcible sexual intercourse with a juvenile offender, Xu Nan was sentenced to 6 years and 10 months in prison. Can be appealed.
