The most important thing was, with so many celebrities and authors sharing her story, who exactly was she to have so many people stand up for her?
The incident transitioned from 2008 to 2009, from spring to early summer, before an official response was finally issued.
The Gong Family was ordered to make a civil compensation of 860,000 yuan to Gong Mingxia, relevant responsible parties in office were dismissed, and those no longer in office had their retirement pay and other benefits cancelled.
The Gong family members faced civil compensation, and Mr. Gong was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, while Gong was given a dismissal from his position.
If it weren't for the civil compensation, Mr. Gong's sentence would have been longer. They compensated not because they wanted to make amends to the victim but because they didn't want to go to jail.
