In March 2018, the Public Security Bureau of Qian'an City, Hebei Province, arrested a criminal gang of evil forces that had been "touching porcelain" for a long time. The gang extorted money by deliberately crashing into cars.
However, during the interrogation, the Qian'an police discovered a more serious crime - the gang members voluntarily confessed that they had raped and gang-raped several underage girls and forced them into prostitution to earn money.
At a time when this gang of evil forces involving twelve people was being arrested one after another, Kang Yong, then deputy secretary of the party committee of the Qian'an City Public Security Bureau, could not sit still, and he stuffed money into the police and responsible persons responsible for investigating and handling the gang's case, hoping that they would not continue to investigate.
This move brought him justice. In July 2018, Kang Yong was placed in custody and investigated by the Tangshan Municipal Supervisory Commission for bribery, and then took the initiative to confess that he was also involved in it, sexually assaulting underage girls.
In the subsequent investigation, the public security found that the people involved were Wang Shuang, a deputy to the Qian'an Municipal People's Congress.
An insider revealed to the Beijing News reporter that the arrest of Kang Yong and Wang Shuang only revealed the tip of the iceberg of the Qian'an sexual assault case, which is suspected of dozens of people involved, including public officials, wealthy businessmen, and people's congress deputies.
On August 5, 2019, Kang Yong's case was finally decided by the Tangshan Court, which found that defendant Kang Yong had sex with six underage girls under the age of 14 eight times between the summer vacation of 2017 and the beginning of 2018. Kang Yong committed rape, bribery, and bribery and was sentenced to 16 years and 6 months in prison.
The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau was arrested
Kang Yong, 54, was a deputy secretary of the party committee of the Qian'an Municipal Public Security Bureau before the incident. As described by an innkeeper he knew well, he was tall, square-faced, with small eyes, lots of white hair, and a serious face. Since the age of 45, he has served as deputy secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the Qian'an Municipal Public Security Bureau, in charge of the city's public security and other work.
Ma Li was the first girl Kang Yong recalled to the police that he came into contact with. Kang Yong remembers that the first time the two met was in the summer of 2017. At that time, Mary wore a very fashionable dress, which set off a well-proportioned body shape and no makeup. The middleman brought her to see Kang Yong, who also asked her age.
At that time, Mary was only 13 years old.
Kang Yong's first-instance judgment shows that Ma Li recalled that in October 2017, Kang Yong, under the pseudonym "Sincere", contacted Ma Li through QQ, hoping that she would help find some "handmaidens", and Ma Li introduced the second girl, 13-year-old Fu Man.
One Sunday afternoon, after Fu Man finished her cram school, Ma Li took her to a place agreed with Kang Yong, a unit in the Yangang Lijing Garden in Qian'an City.
Later, Fu Man recalled to the police handling the case that he was reluctant at that time, and she resisted when Kang Yong undressed, but she was afraid that Ma Li would beat her, so she obeyed.
The verdict said that after each relationship, Kang Yong would give the girl a prostitute ranging from 1,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan. In addition to Ma Li, there are two other middlemen who are in constant contact with Kang Yong. Every once in a while, someone introduced him to a girl. As long as one or two months, as short as ten days.
After Kang Yong was arrested, an intermediary who had introduced the girl to him recalled to the police, and Kang Yong also proposed that he wanted to find a virgin and was willing to ask for tens of thousands of dollars.
The police investigation found that most of the girls who had a relationship with KangYong were vocational high school students or unemployed people who had just graduated.
Every time he saw the girls, Kang Yong only asked about their age and grade, and did not talk much about it. He lied that he was a doctor at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the girls, who did not know his true identity or name, called him "Doctor".

According to the verdict, Kang Yong said that from the summer vacation of 2017 to the beginning of 2018, in half a year, Kang Yong had sex with six young girls under the age of 14 and eight times. The last time was in early 2018, kang yong remembered asking the girl about her age, and the girl said she was 16 years old, when in fact she was only 13 years old.
Later, Kang Yong twice wrote in his own book: "To be honest, I still don't know who among them is under the age of fourteen. ”
In the face of the police, the girls also admitted to lying about their age. They once told the police handling the case that the intermediary made them claim to be over 14 years old, and sometimes asked them to wear makeup and dress up very maturely.
In the winter of 2017, Ma Li introduced 12-year-old Liu Hong to Kang Yong. Liu Hong is tall, but her body is not yet fully developed. In order to cover up her real age, Ma Li taught Liu Hong to put on makeup in advance, "because makeup looks older." ”
The "touching porcelain" gang led to a big case
After the arrest, Kang Yong confessed that he had been involved in prostitution since 2016, and that his secret deal with the girls lasted for nearly two years. Until a gang of evil forces is caught.
At the beginning of 2018, a gang of evil forces deliberately rubbed the vehicles of drunk drivers and tried to extort 25,000 yuan, and the victim got into trouble with the traffic police brigade of the Qian'an City Public Security Bureau. After investigation, the police handling the case found that they were a gang that had been "touching porcelain" for a long time and included them in the scope of investigation.
The police summoned gang member Ning Dalong. On November 26, Ning Dalong's father told the Beijing News reporter that the police said that it was a matter involving "cars" and asked Ning Dalong to go to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation. On the day of the summons, Ning Dalong went home. But a month later, he was summoned again for the car. This time, he not only confessed to driving and touching porcelain, but also exposed two other gang members to the police handling the case, Wang Zezhong and Wang Jiazhuang.
When interrogated by the Qian'an police, Ning Dalong said that Wang Zezhong and Wang Jiazhuang had repeatedly raped and taken turns raping underage girls, and also introduced and forced them into prostitution to make money, and he had also participated in them. On March 23, 2018, Ning Dalong was criminally detained by the Qian'an Municipal Public Security Bureau on charges of rape, when he was under the age of 18.
A few days later, Wang Zezhong and Wang Jiazhuang were taken into police custody. The police investigation found that they were the main members of the evil gang.
At a time when this evil gang was arrested, Kang Yong could not sit still and began to pay bribes to three colleagues in the same public security bureau, including a member of the party committee of the Qian'an City Public Security Bureau, an instructor of the criminal police brigade, and the deputy commander of the criminal police brigade. After being arrested, he confessed that the bribe was paid to hide his criminal behavior, shielded the criminal gang, and prevented the police from investigating the case.
During police interrogation, the suspects of the gang confessed that they had beaten and intimidated a number of girls and carried out rape and gang rape, and then trafficked the victim girls to officials, people's congress deputies, and wealthy businessmen through intermediaries.
The first rape case the three confessed to the Qian'an police, which occurred in October 2017, was a 15-year-old girl, Yang Lili. Each time, Wang Jiazhuang threatened her with violent means. According to the gang's verdict, they used the same methods to beat, verbally threaten and rape a number of girls.

According to the verdict of the gang involved, between January 1, 2018 and the Spring Festival, Li Pingping was raped three times by Wang Jiazhuang, Wang Zezhong and Ning Dalong in one and a half months. When Li Pingping did not obey, she was beaten and verbally threatened by several people, and after being beaten several times, Li Pingping did not dare to resist.
Wang Jiazhuang and three others confessed to the police, and they also used the same means to rape or take turns raping a 15-year-old girl three times. After that, the girl was forced to introduce a new girl.
Underage girls who have been forced
Wang Zezhong and Wang Jiazhuang are both from Shahezi Village, Qian'an Town, with an age difference of 12 years. They all drop out of school early, go out to work, and rarely come home.
The people in the village do not know much about them, only that Wang Zezhong, 33 years old this year, divorced and remarried, and has a son with his ex-wife, who usually lives with his grandparents. For Wang Jiazhuang, they know less, and can only say that his father loved to drink before his death, and his brain was a bit "devilish".
Ning Dalong's father told the Beijing News reporter that Ning Dalong is the youngest child in the family and has been doing business with his parents since dropping out of school at the age of 14. "If I knew that he had been dealing with Xiao Shuai (Wang Zezhong), I would have broken his leg."
In addition to providing for the rape of Wang Zezhong and the three of them, the girls were also used to pay off debts or earn money. In mid-February 2018, in order to pay off the money owed to Wang Zezhong, Wang Jiazhuang introduced a girl under the age of 18 to Wang Zezhong for prostitution to pay off his debts.
They force girls to go out into prostitution. The girls who had been raped by them, such as Yang Lili, Li Pingping, Wang Yuanyuan, and others, later became their tools to make money. If the girl is unwilling, Wang Jiazhuang and others will threaten to go to the girl's home to make trouble, take nude photos, indecent videos, and beat her.
Wang Zezhong, Wang Jiazhuang and others posted the girl's information to the Internet to solicit prostitution. After the arrest, they confessed to the police that the prostitutes had been squandered by the three of them.
Later, Li Pingping became a "helper" for gang members to coerce girls into prostitution. The gang coerced the girl Wang Yuanyuan to go to prostitution to earn money, Wang Zezhong asked Li Pingping to tell her about her experience of being beaten in front of her, Wang Yuanyuan listened, frightened and did not dare to resist, and then was taken to a daily rental house in the Lidu Jingyuan Community in Qian'an City, where she prostituted a man of about 40 years old and obtained 1,000 yuan of prostitution.
On December 25, 2018, the Qian'an Court in Hebei held a trial on the rape and extortion case of Wang Zezhong, Wang Jiazhuang and others. After trial, it was found that Wang Jiazhuang, Wang Zezhong and Ning Dalong raped women, forced minors into prostitution, and illegally profited more than 10,000 yuan from them.
According to the gang members, Yang Lili was forced into prostitution by them. Within two months, she received six guests, including Kang Yong, deputy secretary of the party committee of the Qian'an Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Wang Shuang, deputy to the Qian'an Municipal People's Congress and director of Dazhuanghu Village. But in Kang Yong's confession, Yang Lili was not mentioned.

On July 26, 2018, Wang Shuang's brother told the Beijing News reporter: "On the night of July 6, when Wang Shuang was resting at home, several plainclothes police officers knocked on the door of the house and took him away. On the 9th, the police reported to the Qian'an Municipal People's Congress Committee for permission, and Wang Shuang was criminally detained. ”
On November 27, Wang Jun, a member of the Dazhuanghu Village Committee, said that Wang Shuang had already been sentenced by the court, and he did not know how long the sentence was.
According to people familiar with the matter, what has been exposed so far is only the tip of the iceberg of the whole case. In addition to Kang Yong and Wang Shuang, a number of public officials were involved. Last year, there were rumors in Qian'an that dozens of local public officials and wealthy businessmen were investigated by the police, and some of the people involved were not punished because they had no evidence to sit on the facts. However, as of press time, the reporter has not verified the statement.
After the sexual assault case
In July 2018, Kang Yong was placed in custody by the Tangshan Municipal Supervisory Commission. After that, the Supervision Commission transferred the case to the Tangshan Municipal Procuratorate, which assigned the Guye District Procuratorate to have jurisdiction over and approved the arrest of Kang Yong.
Article 236 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the rape of a young girl under the age of 14 is a heavier punishment if he is raped. This means that, regardless of the means used and whether the young girl consents or not, as long as sexual relations with a young girl under the age of 14 years of age, it is an act of rape and constitutes the crime of rape.

On August 5, 2019, the Tangshan Intermediate People's Court finally ruled that Kang Yong was convicted of rape and sentenced to 15 years in prison; the crime of accepting bribes and bribery was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison, and the joint execution was 16 years and 6 months. Kang Yong returned 1.81 million yuan in the bribery and bribery case and handed it over to the state treasury and fined him 400,000 yuan.
One of the middlemen who often introduced the girls to Kang Yong was summoned by the Qian'an City Public Security Organ on July 2, 2018. After interrogation, she stated the facts of her crime of being repeatedly introduced into prostitution by others and repeatedly introduced others to prostitution. However, because she was under the age of sixteen, the police did not file a case against her and take compulsory measures.
On January 30, 2019, the Qian'an Municipal Court pronounced a verdict in the qian'an Municipal Court in the first instance, and the two main criminals, Wang Jiazhuang and Wang Zezhong, were sentenced to 19 years in prison and Ning Dalong to 17 years. The remaining ten defendants were also sentenced separately, and Wang Shuang's case also entered the judicial process.
On August 23, 2018, the Tangshan Municipal Government website released the news of "Qian'an Municipal Education Bureau Summer Renovation of Campus and Surrounding Security Environment". According to the news, on August 6, the Municipal Education Bureau and the Political and Legal Committee jointly held a principal's symposium, respectively, expounded the problems existing around the campus of the unit, and put forward suggestions and opinions. The safety hazards in and around the campus are analyzed and summarized, which enhances the pertinence and effectiveness of the governance work around the campus.
The news also said that since August 13, more than 50 staff members of 11 departments such as public security, market supervision, urban management, and housing construction have been divided into four inspection teams to jointly enforce the law. Through the inspection of the apartments around the school, it is required that more than 200 apartments, such as the name of the apartment, the name of the organizer, the contact information, and the specific location, be reported to the Political and Legal Committee and the Public Security Bureau Public Security Brigade.
On December 9, a reporter from the Beijing News contacted the staff of the Qian'an Municipal Education Bureau to try to understand the follow-up results of the education system's handling of the matter after the incident. Director Bai, director of the office, said: "I am not clear, I am not responsible for this, I should consult the Safety and Legal Health Department." Subsequently, the chief of the safety and legal system health section of the Education Bureau said that he did not understand the situation. As of press time, The Secretary for Education, Liu Dongyou, had missed a phone call and a text message.
