Raped petitioner seeking justice

A man who raped a young woman in front of 70 witnesses and left her emotionally scarred should serve at least 10 years, Fengtai district prosecutors said this week during an appeal against his eight-year term.

Beijing's No 2 Intermediate People's Court began hearing the appeal on Wednesday.

Xu Jian, a 26-year-old security guard at the time of the attack, was convicted at an earlier trial of raping the 22-year-old woman.
