Wang Sicong praised Liu Jintao’s apology Weibo
Wang Sicong once commented on the Liu Zedong case "the price was not negotiated"
In the early morning of December 22, Liu Jintao [Weibo] made new progress in the alleged sexual assault case in the United States. A few days ago, the US prosecutor officially announced the decision not to prosecute, and the person involved Liu Liu personally responded to the matter on Weibo for the first time and made an apology statement. When the matter first broke, Wang Sicong [Weibo] posted a post "ordering a big melon" and commented that "the price should not be negotiated" and then deleted it in seconds. This time, Liu Liu posted an article, and Wang Sicong liked it again.
In September and February, media reported that Liu was suspected of "Criminal Sex Conduct" when he attended an event at the University of Minnesota on Friday evening local time. The object was a Chinese female student. He was arrested by the police and released the next afternoon. On the afternoon of September 2, Beijing time, JD.com issued a statement saying, "Mr. Liu was accused of false accusations during his business activities in the United States. After investigation by the local police, no inappropriate behavior was found. He will continue his trip as originally planned."
Later, Wang Sicong forwarded the official statement of JD.com and said that he "ordered a big melon", and then replied in the comments, "It should be that the price was not negotiated, and it was negotiated after being sent to the bureau." Then he added, "Just kidding, I don’t think Liu Jintao is such a person! Today I drink matcha instead." However, Wang Sicong deleted the Weibo in seconds.
For three months, the details of the case have been coming to light, but Liu has never responded. On Dec. 21, Mike Freeman, the prosecutor in Hennepin County, Minnesota, formally announced that he had decided not to prosecute Liu because there was not enough evidence to support the decision to prosecute. Mr. Liu’s case is similar to many other sexual assault cases, and the specific circumstances are very complex, Mr. Freeman said. "Liu’s case is very similar to those cases where the suspect insists that the sexual activity is the result of consensual consent." In order to protect the girl from secondary harm, the prosecution will not provide more detailed updates in this regard.
On the early morning of December 22, Liu Jintao issued an apology statement after the incident, saying that the result of not prosecuting confirmed that "I have not violated any laws from the beginning to the end." But he also said that this matter has caused great harm to his family and loved ones. "I have confessed the truth to her for the first time, and I hope she can accept my most sincere apology." Later, "Melon Eaters" Wang Sicong praised the apology statement in time.
