She then rode his Mercedes Benz to the apartment complex pictured in the Luohu District and followed his instructions for cleaning.

He then demanded to take nude photos as a sign of her sincerity. She says that he had her say that she would stay while taking the photographs.

Thereafter, with him possessing nude photographs of her, she didn’t dare resist. She continues that he took out a massager/vibrator, used it on her 3-4 times, and then took off his pants. Despite warning, she still called the police the next day.

Seeing that beard on his face, looks like a bastard.

网易福建网友:

Thousands of nude photos! Those who support their public release, ding me!

网易火星网友:

Bringing someone back to one’s own house to rape, this isn’t logical, unless the accuser is just after more money.

网易河南网友:

This kind of person must be punished severely! His younger sister even testifies to his innocent! If the person he raped was his younger sister, what would she say then? Us women must protect our own rights and interests!

网易山东济南网友:

Never go to Shanmu Training [for education/training]!!! Beware of being raped by perverts!!!

网易火星网友:

Song Shanmu: Ancestral home is Japan, his father was one of the defeated Japanese soldiers following the invasion and occupation of China. Later, unable to escape back to Japan, he changed his identity and lived in China, later marrying a Chinese girl and had a son. This Japanese person’s name was Shanmu Yi Ji. He, in order to commemorate/remember that he is Japanese yet afraid of Chinese people discovering that he is Japanese, named his son Shanmu, with the surname being his wife’s surname. Song Shanmu going to Japan multiple times was to visit his other Japanese relatives.

网易安徽淮南网友:

Shanmu is a “famous person”, has some influence, and not all the female victims dare to stand out. Without a death, the law cannot give him the death penalty, so I bet that in the end he will use guanxi [connections], stuff some cash, and the matter will “remain unresolved”. Comrades, with this society… pretend to be a little numb, a little befuddled, so you won’t die from anger!

网易上海网友:

Price wasn’t settled…being sued now.

网易上海市浦东新区网友:

Such a terrifying appearance, like a strange beast, no, like a beast!

网易广东深圳罗湖网友:

I always thought Shanmu was Japanese?! It seems kind of beastly copulation is not something only Japanese people are capable of!

网易北京网友:

If the law is fair, please have him go die!

网易河南信阳网友:

Just looking at his bear-like appearance, one can tell his sexual appetite/desire is very strong .

网易甘肃兰州网友:

I always thought [he] was Japanese…turns out he’s Chinese…faint

网易欧洲网友:

You can get on CCTV as long as you spend money, CCTV is advertising for him.
