The victim committed suicide and self-mutilated, two victims committed self-mutilation and other serious consequences, seriously trampling on the bottom line of law and social ethics. The nature is extremely bad, the crime is extremely serious, and the social harm is great. He should be severely punished in accordance with the law, and the death penalty is in line with the law.
He stated that the Supreme People's Court has repeatedly issued typical cases emphasizing that crimes of sexual assault on minors, especially crimes of sexual assault on minors by taking advantage of one's special identity or convenient conditions, must be resolutely and severely punished in accordance with the law. If the circumstances are extremely egregious and the consequences are extremely serious, the death penalty will be resolutely imposed in accordance with the law and will never be tolerated.
The Long Peizhu case is a typical example of extremely serious crimes of sexual assault of minors. The verdict of this case also demonstrates the people's court's clear attitude of "zero tolerance" and "severe punishment" for the crime of sexual assault of minors.
