Derivative rape still exists in 50 cases of sexual assault and harassment by Didi drivers in 4 years.
CCTV News:This time, people are extremely concerned about the safety of Didi passengers, not only because the practice of Didi in this case is questionable, but also because it is not the first time. Three months ago, almost the same tragedy seemed to be still in sight. On May 5 this year, Li, a girl from Zhengzhou, called a ride back to the city through Didi after work, but was killed by the driver. Three months, two murders, this is just the tip of the iceberg involving the criminal case of Didi driver. In May 2017, there was a case in Chongqing where a drip driver killed and molested a female passenger. The drip driver was sentenced to death and suspended for two years. At present, the judgment has taken effect.
In at least 50 cases in 4 years, all the victims were women.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past four years, there have been at least 50 cases of sexual assault and harassment by Didi drivers, including 2 cases of intentional homicide, 19 cases of rape, 9 cases of compulsory indecency, 5 cases of administrative punishment and 15 cases of sexual harassment that have not been filed, involving 50 drivers, and 53 victims are women.
Judge: In Beijing alone, there were 24 criminal cases involving Didi drivers in the screening office.
In order to solve this problem, on May 14th this year, Beijing Haidian Court Network published an article entitled "Disclosure of Didi Chuxing Owners’ Crimes". The author Jiang Nan, a judge of Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing, said that by searching historical cases in the trial business system and China Judgment Document Network, it can be found that since 2014, there have been far more criminal cases involving Didi Platform than the public knows.
Jiang Nan, Judge of the Second Criminal Court of Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing: "Within the scope of Beijing, we have limited that this criminal case should occur in the process of business performance, which means that either you are a full-time driver of Didi, in the process of operation, or the rider of Didi is fulfilling the platform order. In the process. The last criminal cases we screened in Beijing were 24. "
According to Judge Jiang Nan, from the perspective of the number of cases, among these 24 cases, the most common case is theft, accounting for nearly half of the total. There were two cases of sexual assault, such as rape and forced indecency.
Jiang Nan, Judge of the Second Criminal Court of Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing："Such cases all occur in the summer, that is, from June to September, and the time of the case is from midnight to early morning, that is, between 11: 00 and 5: 00 in the morning."
At the same time, Judge Jiang Nan found that according to this statistical data, the proportion of sexual assault cases such as Didi Platform was not significantly higher than that of ordinary cruise taxis.
Jiang Nan, Judge of the Second Criminal Court of Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing: "It’s just that it’s the same as the traditional one. We call it a cruise taxi, including a black car. You can’t say that the number of crimes committed on its platform is relatively high. However, it has a more obvious feature, that is, it is true that such cases are concentrated on hitchhiking, that is, three of the four cases are hitchhiking drivers and one is an express driver. Therefore, at least the risk of hitchhiking in Didi’s format is indeed relatively high. Moreover, it also shows that in the process of hitchhiking management, he may indeed have such measures that we can do some more work to try to reduce this crime rate. "
In the process of sorting out the cases, Judge Jiang Nan found that there were also sexual assault cases derived from Didi Platform.
Jiang Nan, Judge of the Second Criminal Court of Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing: "What is derivative rape? That is to say, I, a passenger, met the perpetrator for the first time, that is, in the process of fulfilling the order, I hitchhiked for the first time and got on the express train for the first time, and he didn’t commit rape, but they established a social relationship through this transaction, and then rape occurred at the second meeting. Such cases also involve two rides and two express trains. "
In combing, Judge Jiang Nan also found that there were indeed omissions in the platform’s verification of registered drivers, and some drivers with criminal records passed the identity verification of Didi Platform and engaged in related operational activities.
Jiang Nan, Judge of the Second Criminal Court of Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing: "It is true that some drivers who have a criminal record of this serious crime, such as intentional injury, have passed the registration. This is the first point. The second point is that it is true that we found that drivers with criminal records of traffic accidents and dangerous driving passed the audit. The third point may be that there are some drivers with economic crimes, such as contract fraud, fraud and extortion. In a short period of time, that is to say, he just got out of prison, maybe one or two years, and he passed the registration. He did not pass our default assessment level, which is to reduce his personal danger. This shows that Didi is indeed making some improvements in driver review. "
It can be seen that in recent years, in frequent criminal cases involving Didi, Didi platform has to bear at least the responsibility of lax audit, so what other responsibilities does Didi need to bear?
Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association: "I think this kind of vicious incident has occurred continuously, even during the rectification period. Then I think the relevant departments should investigate its administrative responsibility. I think this should be based on the current flawed information, right? Of course, we may have to look at this criminal responsibility according to the results of this investigation and further results."
