Uproar caused in island province, report He Na, Wu Wencong and Hu Yongqi in Beijing.

When police in Hainan province arrested two men on charges of sexually assaulting minors, they believed they were dealing with an open-and-shut case.

However, the incident took a bizarre twist on Tuesday, amid claim and counterclaim concerning the girls' status as virgins, when the results of forensic examinations on four of the six girls were released via the police micro blog.

The examinations, conducted on Monday by a medical expert from the Hainan Provincial Public Security Bureau and doctors from the obstetrics and gynecology department at Wanning People's Hospital, concluded that the girls' hymens were still intact.

The news caused uproar in the island province.

The girls' parents refused to accept the results, and claimed that tests conducted by different experts at the same hospital on Friday had indicated genital bruising and that the girls' hymens had been ruptured.

The background

The story began last week when Chen Zaipeng, the principal of Wanning No 2 Primary School, and Feng Xiaosong, who works for the Wanning city housing authority, were arrested and charged with child molestation after six girls, aged 11 to 13, claimed they had been sexually abused.

The girls, who had been missing for two days, were eventually located after police and parents arranged a search party to comb the area.

WHAT A JOKE! ABOUT CHINA LAWS DEFINING RAPE AND CHILD MOLESTATION. IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD AND MOST WESTERN NATIONS, RAPE IS SEX AGAINST ONE"S WILL OR NONCONSENSUAL EITHER BY FORCE OR OTHER MEAN SUCH AS DRUG/DRINK. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHILD RAPE OR CHILD MOLESTATION. CONSENSUAL SEX WITH PERSON BELOW 18 YEARS OLD (ADULT AGE) IS CONSIDERED SEX WITH MINOR(CHILD MOLESTATION) OR PEDOPHILE WHICH IS A SEX CRIME, AND PUNISHABLE BY A MINUMUM OF 25 YEARS JAIL TERM TO DEATH PENALTY. RAPE REGARDLESS OF AGES IS PUNISABLE BY LIFE IMPRISONMENT TO DEATH SENTENCE. CHINA SHOULD AMEND THE LAWS AGAINST SEX CRIMES TO RENDER FULL JUSTICE TO RAPE VICTIM & THEIR FAMILY, NOTHINGS CAN RESTORE THE TRAUMATIC PAINS SUFFER BY THE VICTIM AND IT"S PSCHOLOGICAL & EMOTIONAL NIGHTMARES & LIFE UNDER A SHATTERED WORLD OF THE RAPE VICTIM.
