According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a 41-year-old woman A, a sales manager for an auto parts company in Tianjin, China, went on a business trip to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province with her boss Wang in September 2023.
At this time, after dinner with a customer, drunk A was taken to a hotel room by Wang, where he was sexually assaulted.
Afterwards, A, who was unable to go out due to mental trauma, was fired in April 2024 from the company for 'unity absenteeism'. In the same month, Wang was sentenced to four years in prison for rape.
A local appraisal agency diagnosed A as suffering from PTSD, and late last year, the Tianjin Social Security Administration officially recognized her condition as 'Industrial Accident'. This is the first time sexual assault damage has been classified as an industrial accident in China.
Earlier this year, the labor arbitration agency ordered the company to compensate 1.13 million yuan (about 220 million won), but A has received only 20,000 yuan (about 4 million won) so far. In response, she raised the compensation to 2 million yuan and filed a civil lawsuit against the company.
In a recent trial held at the People's Court in Jinnan-gu, Tianjin, A put on the clothes he wore at the time he was sexually assaulted and went to court again.
"It was a day of humiliation, but today is a day for justice," she told the media.
After the incident, he suffered from nightmares and insomnia and continued to rely on drugs and coffee""Life is completely over.""'Never blame yourself,' she said to the women who suffered the same damage.
The court's final ruling has yet to come out.
