Settlement upsets 'black jail' victim

After three months of nightmares, rape victim Li Ruirui, who says she was attacked while held in a quasi-official "black jail", woke up Friday morning to learn that her abuser will spend eight years behind official bars for the assault.

The 20-year-old victim had been attempting to deliver a petition when she was detained and attacked on Aug 4 by a "guard" at a Beijing hotel that critics said was, in reality, a "black jail".

A Beijing court ordered 26-year-old Xu Jian to serve eight years and pay 2,300 yuan ($337) in compensation.
