On May 16, 2025, three criminals, surnamed Zhao, Wang, and Chen, who raped minors were executed in accordance with the law after being approved by the Supreme People's Court of China. Here is a detailed account of their crimes:Zhao Period of crime: From April 2018 to March 2019. Crime details: Zhao, who worked as an instructor at an illegal "growth education base", together with other instructors, formed a vicious gang. They subjected dozens of minor students to abuse and illegal detention by means of beatings, verbal abuse, corporal punishment, forced labor, and solitary confinement. By taking advantage of the psychological control over the students through the above - mentioned abusive acts, Zhao used coercion, enticement, and video - recording methods to repeatedly rape eight underage female students, including three young girls. During this period, Zhao forced the victims to take birth - control pills for a long time, resulting in many victims suffering from gynecological diseases. In addition, Zhao also committed crimes such as intentional injury and fraud.Wang Period of crime: From September 2019 to May 2022. Crime details: Wang targeted primary and junior high school girls on a certain online platform. He pretended to be a director recruiting child actors and actresses, and first tricked and coerced underage victims into taking and sending nude or inappropriate photos and videos. Then, under the pretext of a physical examination or threatening to expose the explicit content, he lured the victims out and raped and molested nine underage girls, including seven prepubescent girls and one with mental impairments. During the rapes, he recorded the acts to force the victims into further submission, and repeatedly and severely abused some of the girls. In addition, Wang molested 10 other prepubescent girls and one boy.Chen Period of crime: From January to April 2022. Crime details: Chen, who had been previously convicted of rape, posed as a peer and joined more than 20 QQ and WeChat groups created by junior high school students through introduction. He randomly added female students in the groups as friends and lured and coerced some of them out for rape. Chen raped three prepubescent girls seven times and attempted to rape another minor. He also took videos during the rapes to threaten the victims into further compliance, which led to some of the girls self - harming, attempting suicide, or dropping out of school. Chen also organized three gang - rapes of one of the girls and facilitated her sexual exploitation for profits. In addition, he molested two other prepubescent girls and committed extortion.The Supreme People's Court has always adhered to a "zero - tolerance" attitude towards sexual crimes against minors. These executions demonstrate the firm stance of the Chinese courts in severely punishing such criminals and send a clear message to the whole society that "those who harm children will be severely punished".
