NONO is accused of attempted sexual assault. The first trial lasted two and a half years, and the second trial has begun. A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm analyzes the possibility of an acquittal on appeal after a guilty verdict in the first trial.

Case Background and Legal Disputes

Artist NONO faces a sexual assault lawsuit, with the second trial opening for the first time. Chen Xuanyu made a low-key appearance. Artist NONO is embroiled in a sexual assault scandal, with six victims accusing him of seven counts. In the first trial, he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for only one count of attempted sexual assault, while being acquitted of the remaining six counts. Following an appeal, the case has been heard for the first time in the second trial, with NONO appearing in court to defend his innocence.

A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that NONO was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for attempted rape in the first instance. Clearly, the court of first instance considered there to be concrete evidence. Now, NONO is appealing to seek acquittal in the second instance, and will need to find a way to overturn the probative value of this evidence, which will likely be quite difficult legally.

Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm

Lawyers at Fidelity Law Firm advise that in similar cases, one should not only look at the news headlines, but also return to the evidence, legal requirements, procedural stages, and the client's actual objectives. If the case has entered the court, district prosecutor's office, investigation bureau, or negotiation process, the earlier the information is gathered, the more room for maneuver it will retain.

What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?

• First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.
• Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.
• Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.
