A RAPIST who met his victim through a 'making friends' column in
a teen magazine has had his appeal dismissed.
Wang Jianbin, 25, attacked the schoolgirl in her bedroom after
fighting off a male friend of hers who tried to stop him.
He later challenged his sentence of 13 years of jail and 15
strokes of the cane, but it was upheld yesterday by the Court of
Appeal.
Justice Chao Hick Tin said it was a horrendous case that was
unusual, as the rapist had gone to the victim's home and attacked
her in the presence of others.
He added that the sentence could have been longer, but would not
be raised as the prosecution had not appealed.
Wang was a 23-year-old polytechnic student when he sent a
message to the 13-year-old online after stumbling across her
address in a teen magazine in 2009.
They started chatting on an instant messaging system, and later
over text messages and the phone. Wang then started to sexually
harass her - asking what colour her underwear was and whether she
had a boyfriend. He also pressed her to meet.
After numerous threats, she eventually relented and allowed him
to come to her flat. The girl asked two male friends, aged 17 and
18, to hide in her mother's room in case she could not handle
him.
She also thought he would not try anything as her brother and
his piano teacher were in the flat.
When Wang arrived, he demanded that she take him to her bedroom.
There, he began violating her. One of her friends came in, but was
chased out of the room after a struggle.
As he and the other friend ran for help, Wang raped her. He was
later arrested at the scene.
In July last year, he pleaded guilty to rape in the High Court.
Charges of criminal intimidation and sexual assault were taken into
consideration.
The punishment for rape is up to 20 years' jail, and either
caning or a fine.
