In 2018, the famous Taiwanese director Niu Chengze was accused of sexually assaulting a female assistant, and the news immediately caused an uproar. According to news reports, one day in November, Niu Chengze suddenly changed his temperament while getting along with his female assistant. He tore up the female assistant's clothes and forced the female assistant to commit sexual assault!
As soon as the news came out, the public was in an uproar. For a moment, the public was surprised by the differences in the words of Niu Chengze. After all, Niu Chengze has directed many very famous film works, and in everyone's impression, he should be a good director who concentrates on film.
No one expected that director Niu Chengze, who was gentle in front of everyone, would do such a thing in private. Niu Chengze, who is in his 50s, could be said to be in danger of his later years.
However, facing the female assistant's accusation, Niu Chengze not only did not repent, but seemed very calm, saying that having sex with the female assistant was not forced, but that the two liked to have sex voluntarily, and implying that the female assistant took the initiative to sacrifice herself. The statement of
seems completely nonsense to the victim's side. What happened between the two that night, the scars of the victim's struggle became the most critical evidence, and Niu Chengze's voluntary position was unreliable.
Such obvious quibbling and excuse behavior has made the public's evaluation of Niu Chengze even more plummet.
"scum" and "heavy punishment" frequently appear in netizens' comments. Many people can't understand why Niu Chengze puts his good life on his own, but he insists on taking a detour to force his female assistant, and ends up beating everyone? I believe only Niu Chengze himself knows the answer to this question.
According to media reports, after the incident, in order to restore his image, Niu Chengze privately found the female assistant to "settle the matter privately" and offered a six-digit price to get forgiven by the other party, but the female assistant refused this "so-called compensation" and firmly demanded legal means so that Niu Chengze could get the punishment he deserved.
In fact, Niu Chengze has paid more than NT$2 million (about 460,000 RMB) in mediation funds last year.
Now, the case has finally been finalized, and the court sentenced Niu Chengze to four years in prison for compulsory sexual intercourse.
At the trial, Niu Chengze said that because of this incident, relatives and friends began to alienate him, which had a great impact on his life. Not only that, his directorial career can be said to be completely suspended. He hopes to win the court's lenient punishment by playing such a card of sympathy, but the law is fair, and the results given are the best proof. Moreover, for Niu Chengze, these are the consequences he suffered!
No one can act above the law, the net of heaven is vast and unobstructed. Niu Chengze's side has not yet filed an appeal for the court's first-instance judgment, but I believe that the lesson Niu Chengze has learned is enough for him to reflect on for a period of time.
I wonder what everyone thinks about Niu Chengze’s sexual assault on the female assistant? Niu Chengze was sentenced to four years. Do you think the penalty was fair?
