Our reporter Yuan Guoli - Zhang, 50 years old, lives in a rural area of Changping. He lives with Li, a woman from out of town, and her 5-year-old daughter, Little Flower (a pseudonym). A Tibetan female street cleaner vowed to remain unmarried forever in order to take care of an abandoned baby. Taking advantage of Li's absence while she was working, Zhang committed indecent acts against Little Flower. According to reports from the Changping Procuratorate yesterday, Zhang has been approved for arrest on suspicion of rape.
Zhang had previously been imprisoned for theft and robbery, being released in 1998. In June last year, he married Li, who was divorced and had a 5-year-old daughter. It is reported that Li married Zhang in the hope of helping her daughter, Little Flower, obtain Beijing residency. In July of the same year, when Li learned that Little Flower and Zhang were not blood-related and thus could not process Beijing residency, they got a divorce.
According to Li, Zhang once wanted to remarry her, but she did not agree. There were no significant conflicts between them, so after their divorce, she continued living at Zhang’s home. Zhang treated Little Flower fairly well. Li worked as a nanny during the day, while Zhang worked night shifts and stayed home during the day. Therefore, when Little Flower did not go to kindergarten, Zhang would help look after her.
On the evening of January 11 at around 7 PM, Little Flower suddenly told Li that her bottom hurt, claiming it was "dad who touched her." After checking, Li found that Little Flower's lower body was indeed slightly red, but she did not pay much attention to it. Two days later, Little Flower complained of pain again. Upon closer inspection, Li noticed swelling in Little Flower's private area. After Little Flower provided detailed descriptions, Li realized that Zhang might have raped Little Flower and immediately reported it to the police.
Li informed the police that on the morning of January 10, after getting up, she handed Little Flower over to Zhang for him to watch over her while she went out to work. Little Flower told Li that Zhang had lain on top of her, touching her private area, causing her pain and warning her not to tell anyone.
Zhang confessed to the police that he liked sleeping naked and accidentally touched Little Flower's private area while turning over. He denied sexually assaulting Little Flower and explained that he usually treated children well.
On January 14, Zhang was placed under surveillance by the Changping Public Security Bureau on suspicion of rape. On January 15, Zhang was criminally detained and is currently held in the Changping Detention Center.
However, during the investigation, Li refused to sign the statement, refused to let Little Flower put fingerprints on the record, and refused to bring Little Flower for injury appraisal. Li explained that she thought her daughter had not suffered serious harm and did not need an appraisal or to pursue legal responsibility against Zhang. Li said that Zhang was already 50 years old, and she worried his health wouldn't withstand another imprisonment. According to insiders, as an outsider, Li still lives in Zhang's house and relies on him.
Under the requirement of the police, Little Flower underwent an appraisal, which concluded that her external genitalia showed signs of redness and swelling, pending further investigation. Recently, Zhang was approved for arrest on suspicion of rape. Share: Welcome to comment, I want to comment, Weibo recommendation | Today's Weibo hot topics (Editor: SN047)
