China student sues prof, univ for assault
"My people came to me, (director of national intelligence) Dan Coats came to me and others, and they said, ‘I think it is Russia’. I have President Putin, he just said it is not Russia. I will say this—i do not see any reason why it would be"
"In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word would instead of wouldn’t. The
sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia’”
"So I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today"
"I have full faith and support for America’s great intelligence agencies...
I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that
Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place... Could have been other people also.
There’s a lot of people out there" Original statement Retraction
"The whole concept of that (meddling) came up perhaps a little before, but came out as a reason why the Democrats lost an election, which, frankly, they should have been able to win"
" I have, on numerous occasions, noted our intelligence findings that Russians attempted to interfere in our elections. We’re doing everything in our power to prevent Russian interference in 2018" Donald Trump speaks about his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin while meeting members of the US Congress at the White House on Tuesday. BEIJING : A graduate student has become the first person in China to sue her university and a professor after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the teacher for several months in 2016.
The student sued Nanchang University in eastern Jiangxi province for allegedly failing to protect her from repeated assaults by the professor.
The student, “a graduate of Nanchang University, filed a lawsuit on July 11 against the university and Zhou Bin, a professor who allegedly sexually assaulted her in 2016 for about seven months”, China Women’s News reported.
According to court documents, the victim said the university, as an institution of higher learning, should provide virtuous teachers. The University removed Zhou in 2017 as deputy head of its Academy of Chinese Classics and suspended him, the report said.
LAST MONTH, THE SUICIDE OF A SEXUALLY HARASSED TEENAGER WHO JUMPED TO HER DEATH FROM A BUILDING IN GANSU PROVINCE HAD TRIGGERED ONLINE DISCUSSION
The student demanded that the professor should “pay her 140,000 yuan ($20,969) in damages, including 10,000 yuan for psychological consultations, 80,000 yuan for therapy and 50,000 yuan for mental distress”.
“My psychological condition is bad, often immersed in fear and confusion. I often have nightmares. The university can pay my psychological consulting fee first and then seek money from Zhou,” the student wrote on her Sina Weibo (China’s version of Twitter) this week.
The court has to review the lawsuit within a week and decide whether to accept it.
