On the morning of September 4th, Liu Aiye, the principal of Boai Special School in Suixian County, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, was charged with rape and the case was heard in Suixian County Court. According to a court subpoena provided by Chen Jun, the cousin of the victim student Chen Sisi, the cause of this hearing is rape.
At around 12:00 on the 4th, after about three hours of trial, Chen Jun told the reporter from Pengpai News that the court announced an adjournment and will announce a verdict at a later date. Chen Jun said that the family learned from court staff that the trial was due to the discovery of omissions and the addition of rape charges.
Previously, Liu Aiye was sentenced for the crime of forced indecency.
The criminal judgment issued by the Suixian County Court in December 2022 shows that the defendant Liu Aiye is the former principal of Boai Special Education School in Suixian County.
After trial and investigation, it was found that the defendant Liu Aiye opened a disabled school in Group 4, Xujiazui Village, Anju Town, Suixian County in September 2010, registered as the "Suixian Boai Special Education School", with Liu Aiye serving as the principal. From September 2018 to May 2022, Liu Aiye repeatedly touched and kneaded the chest and breasts of underage student Chen Sisi in the school principal's office and student dormitories. In the second half of 2021, Liu Aiye caressed two other underage female students in the principal's office. According to media reports, the other two underage female students both have intellectual disabilities.
The judgment mentions that after appraisal by the Judicial Appraisal Center of Suizhou Public Security Bureau, mixed genotypes were detected in the left inner fabric of the "Chen Sisi Bra" submitted for inspection, including DNA typing of Liu Aiye and Chen Sisi.
According to the first instance judgment of the County People's Court, Liu Aiye committed the crime of forced indecency and was sentenced to three years and six months in prison; Prohibit them from engaging in work that involves close contact with minors.
In 2023, according to media reports, this case attracted public attention. On June 17, 2023, the Suizhou People's Court issued a statement stating that the court attaches great importance to the relevant information about the forced molestation case of Liu Aiye at Suixian Boai Special School and has established a special team to conduct a full case review as soon as possible.
The reporter from Pengpai News noticed that the verdict showed that the litigation representatives appointed by the victim Chen Sisi and another victim had claimed that Liu Aiye had committed rape. However, the Suixian People's Court believes that based on the evidence in the case, it is impossible to prove the fact that the defendant Liu Aiye committed rape. Therefore, it does not accept the opinion put forward by the second entrusted litigation agent that the crime of rape and forced indecency should be punished in combination.
Chen Jun stated that due to the inconsistent progress of the investigation of the three victims, this court hearing mainly focuses on part of Chen Sisi's case. He introduced that at the end of June this year, two victims underwent physical examinations; All three victims have re recorded their confessions, but due to the limited expression ability of the underage victims, the investigation is difficult. "Children need to ask for a long time before they are willing to open up. As soon as they leave, they refuse any communication, which makes it extremely complicated for the police to ask for a statement," he said.
