In China, it is reported that the sentences were executed immediately as soon as minor sexual assaulters were sentenced to death.
According to reports by China's Xinhua News Agency and China Central Television (CCTV) on the 14th (local time), the Supreme People's Court approved and executed the death penalty of Guo, Xiangmo, and Gongmo, three minors, the previous day.
Guo, the principal of the elementary school, is accused of sexually assaulting six girls under the age of 14 more than 100 times and repeatedly sexually harassing three girls under the age of 12.
Mr. Xiang
is accused of luring minors who were not helped by adults to parks, plazas, and kindergarten entrances, sexually assaulting them, and filming videos. One of the victims suffered from depression and anxiety disorders and attempted extreme choice.
Kong is accused of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 12 who frequently visited the store he was running and conspiring to sexually assault a group with acquaintances. The victim girl, who was sexually assaulted for a long time, eventually died of extreme choice.
The three were sentenced to death in both the first and second trials.
The Chinese court said, "We will sternly respond to crimes that violate the rights and interests of minors, and criminals sentenced to death will be executed quickly."
China is a representative country that adheres to the principle of zero tolerance for sexual crimes against minors. Although China has not released statistics on executions, it is estimated that more than thousands of executions are carried out each year.
