Album of Photos of the Female Protagonist in the Exam Sex Scandal

A seventy-year-old doctoral supervisor at the Central Conservatory of Music voluntarily confessed to having engaged in sexual misconduct with a female student. Liang Maochun, the protagonist of the exam scandal involving Miss Zou's photos, revealed that a well-known 70-year-old doctoral supervisor and professor at the Central Conservatory of Music had engaged in a physical relationship with a female student preparing for the conservatory's doctoral entrance examination. The professor also accepted a bribe of 100,000 yuan from the student to help her gain admission. Ultimately, because the female student did not successfully enter the doctoral program, the elderly professor confessed his sexual misconduct to the school's disciplinary department.

Yesterday, a spokesperson for the Central Conservatory of Music confirmed the details of the sex scandal, stating that the involved professor had been dealt with severely.

The Doctoral Supervisor Confesses Alongside His Wife to the School's Disciplinary Department

The professor surnamed Liang is a doctoral supervisor at the Central Conservatory of Music, specializing in the teaching and research of modern Chinese music history. He is quite renowned in the music criticism community and has even given lectures on the "Hundred Schools Forum."

"He confessed voluntarily." Yesterday, a spokesperson surnamed He from the Central Conservatory of Music stated that in July this year, the professor came to the school's disciplinary department with his wife and admitted to engaging in inappropriate physical relations with a female student surnamed Zou beyond the teacher-student relationship, as well as accepting a bribe of 100,000 yuan from the student.

Professor Liang claimed that Miss Zou was a master's degree graduate from another university who was preparing to take the entrance exam for the Central Conservatory of Music's doctoral program. To ensure her admission, Miss Zou first gave Professor Liang 50,000 yuan as "tuition" and then an additional 50,000 yuan as a "facilitation fee" for smoothing relationships.

In May this year, after the doctoral admission results were announced, Miss Zou did not successfully gain admission. An insider revealed that afterward, Miss Zou confronted Professor Liang and even complained to relevant departments within the school, making Professor Liang feel pressured, prompting him to confess voluntarily to the school authorities.

The spokesperson surnamed He frankly admitted that Professor Liang was sincere in his confession to the school authorities, describing the 70-year-old senior intellectual as being "weeping profusely." Before confessing to the school, Professor Liang had already returned the 100,000 yuan to Miss Zou.

School Cancels Three Rights of the Doctoral Supervisor Involved in the Exam Sex Scandal

The spokesperson surnamed He stated that after the incident occurred, the school held a meeting with key responsible persons and decided to "cancel all rights related to recruitment, teaching, and academic activities" for the professor. Regarding this, the spokesperson explained that since Professor Liang is a retired staff member rehired due to his outstanding expertise, there is no issue of dismissal. This "cancellation" applies permanently within the scope of the school. As for Professor Liang's personal academic rights in society, the school has no authority to interfere. (Source: hibey.com)

Since Miss Zou is not a student of the Central Conservatory of Music, the school did not impose any penalties on her.

Additionally, it was learned that the school investigated Miss Zou's various scores in the doctoral entrance exam and found that apart from the excessively high score given by Professor Liang, the scores provided by the other four professors involved in the assessment were fair and objective. Ultimately, she was still not admitted.

A spokesperson for the Central Conservatory of Music expressed that this was the first such occurrence in the school's history. On behalf of the school, he urged candidates not to trust promises made by individual professors or intermediaries regarding exams.

Yesterday, personnel from the National Centre for the Performing Arts stated that Professor Liang, originally scheduled to give a public lecture during the "August Chorus Festival," had now had his lecture canceled. Insiders revealed that this decision might be related to the issues surrounding Professor Liang.

Expert Opinion

Recruitment Bribery Suspected of Being Receiving Bribes

Professor Wang Zongyu from the Law School of Renmin University of China believed that teachers and professors who accept heavy bribes during the recruitment process are suspected of committing bribery offenses.

The Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued a judicial interpretation titled "Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Commercial Bribery," stipulating that medical personnel and teachers involved in significant amounts of bribery should be prosecuted for non-state employee bribery offenses.

Wang Zongyu believed that although Professor Liang was a retired and rehired staff member, he still held power during the recruitment and grading processes, which could constitute suspicion of bribery offenses.
