In 2000, Zheng Bin immigrated to the United States when he was 18 years old. After completing his studies, he found a high-paying and stable job in the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). He married his wife Lin Jing and had a son and a daughter (the daughter was born in about 2004).
Because of their busy work schedule, Zheng Bin and his wife sent their one-year-old daughter back to China in 2005 to be taken care of by the elderly. Lin Jing opened a small store called 99 Fen convenience store in 2009.
They took their daughter back to the United States in 2012 when her daughter was 6 or 7 years old. At that time, her daughter, who had just gotten off the plane, didn’t even know who he was. When his daughter was growing up, Zheng Bin seldom communicated with his children because he worked overtime all year round. Especially from 2015 to 2018, he worked almost 16 hours a day and neglected to care for his children.
However, both the couple hope to provide a good learning environment and material conditions for their children through hard work. They hope to buy a house in the best school district and send their children to the best school, hoping that they will succeed. In 2016, Zheng Bin and his wife bought a new house in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and the family's life became stable. At this time, their daughter was about 12 years old.
On November 1, 2018, 44-year-old Chinese-American Zheng Bin was accused of rape by his 14-year-old daughter. The daughter claimed with her friends at school that she had been sexually assaulted by her father for a long time. The friends informed the school's guidance teacher, who then called the police.
Zheng Bin was accused of taking off his underage daughter’s pants and underwear multiple times from 2015 to 2018 and having sex; he was arrested in November 2018 and charged with having sex with a minor under the age of 13. and crimes such as rape, incest, and sexual violence. The daughter claimed that her father had sex with her at the 99-cent convenience store run by her mother. Later, she took a pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant and went to a Chinatown clinic for an abortion.
The lawyer who took over the case said that the case was complex and sensitive, the investigation and evidence collection was very difficult, and there was a lot of negative publicity. In similar cases, courts often tend to protect children, resulting in the defendant being convicted of six felony charges without any evidence, leaving him facing more than 25 years in prison. After the
incident, Zheng Bin was restricted from having access to his children, was forced to separate from his wife, lost his job, and had to work on construction sites to make a living. My wife also closed her shop in 2001 due to pressure from neighbors, and has since become seriously ill and had multiple surgeries. The daughter is still placed in foster care with different families.
lawyers defended the defendant not guilty based on facts and law through detailed case investigation and evidence collection. The law firm teamed up with private investigators to conduct an extensive underground investigation and provided evidence to the prosecutor one by one to prove the defendant's innocence.
At present, the prosecutor has withdrawn all felony charges against Zheng Bin, leaving only one misdemeanor crime of endangering the welfare of a child (Endangering the Welfare of a Child), but Zheng Bin still cannot see his daughter. After the incident, his wife Lin Jing and her daughter prayed together, and the daughter also said she had done something wrong, but this did not help.
Zheng Bin and his wife Lin Jing said on June 30, 2021 that before their daughter’s accusation, they were like other parents, asking their children about their performance in school and whether there were any problems with their homework every day, but they ignored the child’s psychology. question.
Lin Jing said: "No matter how big a mistake the child makes, it is still a piece of meat that has fallen from my body. As long as she is willing to come back, the door of this family will always be open to her."
For a long time, I have observed a phenomenon that is Young female sexual assault victims between the ages of 8 and 14 have a phenomenon of hatred transfer: they will unconsciously forget and blur the real sexual assault, and instead mentally shape one or several familiar and close men as sexual assaulters and firmly believe that they have committed sexual assault. Unwavering hatred and resentment towards them. This is not an individual case, but there is a ratio. Especially when a girl becomes pregnant due to rape, the possibility of this kind of psychology will be greatly increased.
Men should never be alone with underage girls of this age without third party verification.Usually when she has a psychological need for alternative transfer, she will usually use the opposite sex as a filter and by extension select the target of hatred, which means that not only one person may be accused, but several or ten people may be accused. several.
Due to the Minors Protection Law, once accused by them, the innocent accused has almost no chance of getting away. Based on the cognitive status of this age group, the judge can determine that the girl's statements with distorted language, confusing logic, and unclear time are true and have legal effect, so that the suspect can be sentenced with zero confession.
