Chongqing University of Technology issued an announcement stating that Li resigned in July 2025 and is no longer a teacher at the school. It also explained the police's decision not to file a case and the procuratorate's review.
CCTV reported on a live-streaming scam conducted under the guise of rescuing stray cats and dogs. The criminal gang defrauded over 1,500 kind-hearted individuals of more than 2.5 million yuan through false information and intentional animal abuse. The mastermind, surnamed Li, was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison for fraud and fined 200,000 yuan.
On the evening of June 10, 2026, Chongqing police reported that an individual surnamed Li had falsely claimed to adopt dogs, only to harm and kill them. Li was placed under administrative detention in accordance with the Public Security Administration Punishments Law. Crowds gathered to demand criminal prosecution, rejecting this outcome.
Mr. Li had previously issued an apology letter to Liao admitting to having non-consensual sexual behavior, and later sued Liao for defamation and sought compensation. The lawsuit was dismissed by the court in June 2026.
Li, a former master's supervisor at Chongqing University of Technology, was accused of sexually assaulting public welfare advocate Liao in June 2025. After an investigation, the Wansheng Economic and Technological Development Zone Public Security Bureau concluded there was no criminal fact and decided not to file a case. The procuratorate also did not support the application for case-filing supervision.
