Last summer, a female Alibaba employee surnamed Zhou accused her manager and company clients of sexually assaulting her after getting her drunk at a business dinner.
A few months later, things didn’t go as expected. Prosecutors in September decided not to prosecute his leader, saying his actions did not constitute a crime. Alibaba fired the woman in November. The company said Ms Zhou had damaged its reputation by spreading false information. A Shandong court last week convicted Zhang Guo, a corporate client in the case, of “forced indecency” and sentenced him to 18 months in prison. “Sanlian Life Weekly” interviewed the heroine and reported her experience. In the past ten months, she has lost almost everything she had: work, health, family, reputation, and the right to speak freely… The end of the first trial of Zhang Guo’s molestation case is just a small step. For the time being, it’s hard to see any hope of her life being rebuilt. She still has Wang’s copy to deal with, and disputes with the company to deal with. Li Yonghe, a former Alibaba executive who publicly apologized and resigned on the intranet, also sued her for reputational infringement last year. These are the things she has to face continuously since she started defending her rights, and the price is so heavy that she never fully expected: “Being stigmatized, a serious criminal case was described by netizens as an affair between a man and a woman, the victim not only took the If you don’t get your own fairness and justice, you may lose your reputation, lose your job, lose your family, self-inflict self-injury, suffer from serious mental illness, and never get rid of it for life,” she said.
