A MAN has pleaded guilty to forcing an 11-year-old girl into prostitution for two months after kidnapping and raping her.
Six other defendants in the case pleaded not guilty.
The girl's mother, Tang Juan, told the Yongzhou Intermediate People's Court in Hunan Province on Thursday that the defendants should get the death penalty for what they did to her daughter, who suffered severe mental trauma and sexually transmitted diseases that could lead to infertility in the future, Sanxiang Metropolis reported yesterday.
Tang also asked for 1.84 million yuan (US$277,600) in compensation to cover medical fees, economic losses and mental anguish.
The court said Zhou Junhui, who pleaded guilty, lured the girl to a video shop where he raped her in October 2006. Zhou forced the girl to work as a prostitute in a salon, threatening to tell everyone about the rape if she refused to cooperate, the newspaper said.
The girl, whose name was not given to protect her privacy, told the court she was paid 100 yuan each time she had sex with a man. She was allowed to keep 70 yuan and the rest would go to the salon owners Chen Gang and Qin Xing, who are among the seven defendants. The girl would get beaten if she tried to escape, the newspaper said.
The victim told the court she was raped and badly beaten for five hours by defendants Jiang Junjun, Qin Bing, Liu Run and Lan Xiaoqiang during one encounter in late December 2006.
Tang saw her daughter at the salon by chance later that month. A relative then posed as a customer and rescued the girl, the court heard.
Local police refused to refer the case to prosecutors, saying it was a trivial matter until Tang tipped off the media and triggered a public uproar late last year, said the newspaper. Three policemen were later suspended for negligence.
Jiang, Qin, Liu and Lan retracted previous admissions of guilt, telling the court they just had sex with a prostitute and had no knowledge of the victim's age. They had previously admitted to raping her and acknowledged she was underage, the report said.
