The next day, the goodwill games Organizing Committee organized a press conference attended by eight authoritative persons, informed Sang Lan about the treatment after the injury, explained the causes of the tragedy, and then released the authoritative speech record.
Kathy Scanlan, president of the American Gymnastics Association, said at a news conference: "I assure you that the competition, mat placement and equipment meet international standards." "This (Sang Lan's fall) was an accident, and I think it is very important for everyone to understand this." "It (Sang Lan fell) was not caused by unsafe factors."
Peter Coleman, coordinator of the American gymnastics team: "No matter how you understand the word accident, it (Sang Lan's fall) is an accident." "That was a mistake."
He believes that Sang Lan turned his head in the air, causing his feet not to land when they should; When the head fell, it should not have landed, but it landed.
Tu Mingde, head of the goodwill games China delegation and secretary-general of the Chinese Olympic Committee, used the word "incident" twice in his speech to describe Sang Lan's fall and admitted that it was an accident.
2011At the beginning of April, the team of lawyers responsible for defending her rights was completed in the United States, and the proceedings were initiated in late April. The amount claimed may be close to 1 100 million dollars.
On April 28th, 20 1 1, it was submitted to the federal district court for the southern district of new york in Manhattan, new york. The court has filed a case and issued relevant subpoenas. The total amount claimed in this complaint is1800 million dollars.
According to Sang Lan's attorney Hai Ming, the objects of this complaint include five organizations and three individuals, namely, a subsidiary of time warner Inc. Inc., the American Gymnastics Association, two insurance institutions under the name of TIG, an insurance institution named RIVERSTONE, ted turner, the former vice chairman of time warner Inc., the founder of goodwill games, and Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong, the guardians of Sang Lan in the United States after his injury.
The indictment always lists 18 charges against the above eight defendants, and each charge claims 1 100 million US dollars, including violation of agreement, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, violation of the human rights laws of New York and new york City, violation of the American Civil Rights Act 1964, violation of the New York Insurance Law, unjust enrichment, embezzlement of property, failure to perform guardianship duties, slander and civil conspiracy.
From 65438 to 2007, Sang Lan accused Romanian gymnastics coach Octavian Beru of taking off the mat before she took off, saying that this was the main reason for her fall, and her coach Liu, the American Gymnastics Association and the organizer of goodwill games were also responsible. New evidence shows that Sang Lan's accusation is groundless. Bayrou not only didn't remove the mat, but also was the first person who came to Sang Lan's side to help her after she fell.
Sang Lan and her lawyer Hai Ming held a press conference in the United States the day before yesterday, announcing that they had reached a settlement with the American Gymnastics Association and three insurance companies, which promised to compensate them to a certain extent, so Sang Lan withdrew the lawsuit against them.
Three insurance companies and the American Gymnastics Association held a three-hour closed-door meeting with Sang Lan before the press conference. Finally, the two sides signed a settlement agreement, acknowledging that 1998' s injury to Sang Lan at goodwill games in the United States was not a personal mistake, and the insurance company claimed10 million dollars, increasing the compensation for medical expenses in China. Hamming said: "In the future, the insurance company will regularly give Sang Alan a sum of money as a subsidy for Sang Lan's future life. Sang Lan is very satisfied with this result. "
After the United States reached a settlement with several defendants, only Liu Guosheng, Xie Xiaohong and their lawyer Mo Hu were left in the Sang Lan case.
On 20141kloc-0/1,Sang Lan, a former gymnast of China Gymnastics Team, informed the court and relevant parties to "voluntarily withdraw" the charges against all the defendants Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong, but reserved the right to appeal again. This transnational high-priced lawsuit, which lasted nearly three and a half years, has taken a fundamental turn.
20 14, 10, 10 Sang Lan assistant judge James Franciscus signed an order, ordering Sang Lan to accept the defendant's oral inquiry on 20 14, 14, otherwise it may be necessary to comply with Article 30 of the Federal Civil Procedure Law of the United States. A day later, Sang Lan dropped the lawsuit.
2065438+05126 October, 165438+ Xinhuanet published "The accusation of" removing the mat "is groundless-the truth investigation of Sang Lan's fall", claiming that @ Sang Lan Sang Lan's injury had nothing to do with the mat, but was caused by his own mistake, pointing directly at Sang Lan for 17. In response, Sang Lan sent a long microblog response on the evening of 28th. Suffer sexual assault
On June 8th, 20 1 1, Sang Lan's attorney Hai Ming issued a notarized court testimony. This testimony proves that Sang Lan was sexually assaulted while living in the United States after being injured, and the perpetrator was the defendant Weisen Xue. Xue was also the son of Xie Xiaohong, Sang Lan's guardian in the United States at that time. This testimony was provided by Lu Ping, a therapist in Sang Lan from the end of July, 1998 to June, 1998.
Lu Ping said that when he went to the defendant's home, he saw Weisen Xue hug the sleeping Sang Lan on the sofa and put a blanket over him to sexually assault him. He said that Sang Lan was completely unconscious from the chest down after he was paralyzed, and he could not feel all the sensations such as cold, heat and itching. "Sang Lan didn't even realize that she was sexually assaulted."
Lu Ping said that Sang Lan was surprised to find that his lower body was bleeding, while Weisen Xue helped Sang Lan wipe the used toilet paper with blood stains. Lu Ping said that he heard with his own ears, "Sang Lan asked why there is blood?" Lu Ping said that Sang Lancai 17 years old is still a virgin.
Material proof
Transnational litigation in Sang Lan is still in progress. On June 20th119th, Sang Lan's attorney Hai Ming presented a "question and answer" material, and Lu Ping, a witness in the sexual harassment case, explained some doubts. In a "Q&A" material presented by Hamming, Lu Ping claimed that he had treated Sang Lan in the hospital and the defendant Weisen Xue's home (1998), and Weisen Xue's home was the scene of what he called "sexual harassment". "It was here that I discovered Weisen Xue's misconduct towards Sang Lan, not only taking a bath, catheterization and buying a bra, but also more unsightly behavior and evil deeds. The specific situation is not convenient to disclose, and I may not be the only witness. "
Lu Ping talked about the source of recorded evidence. "When I was treating Sang Lan, only Sang Mu was present. In order to avoid the interference of the gas field, I let others avoid it, so I have the opportunity to record it. " Speaking of another piece of evidence, "bloody toilet paper", Lu Ping claimed that it was "conveniently preserved" at that time. "I will come out to testify when I am ready to report it in the future."
Lu Ping said that he had never contacted Sang Lan since the end of June of 1998+00. Lu Ping also said that a business partner named Huang Anna was willing to testify for her. "She proved that my testimony was true, not forged."
Defendants Liu Guosheng, Xie Xiaohong and Weisen Xue also participated in the proceedings. In Liu Guosheng's latest blog, she called Lu Ping's "sexual assault" case perjury. Now she has been handed over to a lawyer, and I don't need to say more.
Unable to file a case
"Sexual assault" is different from "rape"
Hamming said at a news conference that Fred Green, a sex crime prosecutor in Westchester County, New York, told him that the focus of the prosecution's investigation was whether the case was "first-degree rape". If not, the case will not be filed. On July 20 1 1 09 19, Sang Lan reported to a police station in new york, accusing Liu Guosheng and Weisen Xue of sexually assaulting her before 13, and at the same time accusing Liu Guosheng and Weisen Xue of allegedly hurting minors and people who have no self-care ability.
In mid-August, criminal cases came to an end, and civil cases showed a general upward trend. What preparations did Sang Lan make for the next change of the case? In this regard, Jian Huang revealed: "Next, we will mainly make some adjustments for civil cases, such as the presentation of some important evidence, such as the adjustment of some core lawsuits, but I can't say how to make specific adjustments, and everyone will know then. In addition, Sang Lan is ready to fight a protracted war. No matter what the outside world says, no matter what others say, our awareness of rights protection will never waver. "
