Teen suffers haemorrhage after sex
Tags:
A 17-year-old girl in China who suffered a brain haemorrhage after having sex with a man has sought 1.57 million yuan ($231,000) as compensation, blaming him for not helping her in time.
The girl's parents, who attended the hearing at Hongkou District People's Court on Friday,
said their daughter Wen was paralysed and couldn't speak. She was facing long-term
therapy and the compensation was needed to cover her medical costs.
According to the Shanghai Daily, the defendant, Shen, said he would pay 50,000 yuan at most out of sympathy because he was not at fault for Wen's condition.
Shen, in his 20s, said he met Wen through internet in July 2008. They had a meal
together three months later and had sex for the first time.
On March 7 this year, Shen asked Wen to meet him in a hotel in Hongkou. After they had
sex, Wen complained of a headache and was sick.
"She went into the bathroom but didn't come out for a long time. When I went to have a
look, she was lying on the ground unconscious," Shen said. Shen called an ambulance at about 4 pm.
Wen's parents accused Shen of not sending the girl to hospital in time, causing her to
miss the best time to receive medical treatment.
Shen said he had actively helped Wen but it was unreasonable to require him to judge
the seriousness of Wen's condition.
