THE Hunan Provincial Higher People's Court today held a second trial of a case in which an 11-year-old girl was gang raped and forced into prostitution in 2006.
In the first trial last year, Zhou Junhui who kidnapped the girl identified as Le Le and Qin Xing, the owner of a nightclub in Yongzhou City where the girl was gang raped and forced into prostitution, were sentenced to death and other five men received jail terms from 15 years to life imprisonment.
The girl's mother, Tang Juan, appealed the court ruling, saying every one of them should get the death penalty for what they had done to her daughter who suffered severe trauma and sexually transmitted diseases that could lead to her infertility, a local newspaper reported today.
Tang also asked for 1.84 million yuan (US$292,400) in compensation to cover medical cost, economic losses and mental anguish while the Yongzhou Intermediate People's Court just fined the defendants 200,000 yuan.
The defendants also appealed the court ruling and asked for lenient punishment, the Sanxiang City Express reported.
According to the earlier court hearing, Zhou lured the girl to a video shop where he raped her in October 2006 and forced her to work as a prostitute in a Qin's nightclub or he would kill her family members.
She sold sex more than 100 times in three months, during which time she was beaten up and gang raped by four of the defendants for five hours.
In late December 2006, a relative of Tang posed as a customer and rescued Le Le, the report cited the court as saying.
