TAIPAI – A woman who filed a sexual-abuse case against a well-known TV host was ousted by a mob in support of her and China’s #MeToo movement during a Beijing court hearing on Wednesday.
The court adjourned around midnight without a verdict. It was not immediately clear when the court would resume hearing the case.
Despite the uncertainty about how the case will unfold, the crowd of people coming out of the courthouse, Xu Xiaoxuan, 27, was excited, with video clips circulating circ online and people at the scene reporting. After about 11 hours of proceedings, he said he would continue to fight his case. Supporters who had been waiting in the cold all day burst into applause.
On Xu Xu Xu June, the state broadcaster is the host of China Central Television and a household name in China, accusing her of forcibly groping and kissing her six years ago when she was interning for her show. Ms. Zoo says he reported the incident to police the very next day but was asked to drop the case because Mr Zuna had a “positive impact” on society.
In 2018, Ms. Xu filed a civil lawsuit against Mr. Xu after his account – which was initially shared in a private social-messaging group – was made public. She denied the allegations, claiming that she filed a defamation suit against Ms. Xu and Ms. Xu Chao, who shared her account with a large audience on the social networking site Weibo, such as China’s Twitter. An attempt to reach Ku Ku through her Weibo account was not successful.
