一、预先声明
1.在过去几年中，被告人精心将自己的形象打造为一名政治异见人士，曝光中国政府内部的腐败问题。
2.然而，这种伪造公众形象只是其烟雾弹，是其通过个人雄厚的财富和与西方世界广泛的人际关系包装出来的。
3.被告人精心编造的故事不仅是为了自我满足， 而且还是被告对包括原告在内的多名人员发起恐吓攻势的掩护。
4. 据此诉状，原告要求被告对其施加的多次性侵犯行为予以经济赔偿，以便被告——其曾逃脱多次刑事司法制裁——接受民事法庭追究。
二、当事人
5.原告为 28岁中国籍女性，在涉此案相关时间被被告雇佣为私人助理。原告发誓其诉状所陈述指控属实。
6.被告为50岁男性，持香港（护照号KJ0398054 ）、阿联酋（护照号J11F59997 )护照，拥有香港（身份证号 P746467(7))、瓦努阿图身份。
7.被告曾、且目前仍居住与纽约第五大道781号知名的 Sherry-Netherland酒店。

12. 上文已陈述，被告通过媒体专门塑造了个人形象，被以“敢言异议人士”形象被称赞，其在曼哈顿奢侈豪宅中冒个人风险做出大量中国政府腐败指控。

15. 为此，被告寻找私人助理，并雇佣了原告。

（二）被告在纽约首次强奸未遂

30. 被告将原告带至放映室后，随即将门上锁，撕扯原告衣服，并对其进行击打。
31. 原告得以离开房间时，鉴于没有护照且无法和外界联络，且如果原告违背被告将面临安全威胁，所以原告持续被被告囚禁。

39. 强奸后，被告对原告的囚禁仍在持续。
40. 第二次发生在被告伦敦Prince''''s Gate办公室内。
41. 原告正在工作时，被告走入房间。
42. 随后被告将门反锁。
43. 被告直接走向原告，将其粗暴从椅子上拽起。

53. 最终，原告得以逃离被告控制。
54. 在一位英国律师的帮助下，原告发表了一封手写的《个人声明》，描述了上述内容，并向中国警方报案。
55. 随后，原告向中国有关部门提供证词并起誓陈述属实，相关内容构成了本诉状主要内容。
56. 声明中，原告描述了被告在英国强奸后，于自己内裤留下精液的情况。
57. 接到报案后，中国警方将相关物证留存。相关证据是中国对被告发出第二张全球通缉令的依据。

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF NEW YORK
X
RUIMA, Index. No.

-against-

Plaintiff,


VERIFIED COMPLAINT


GUO WENGUI a/k/a MILES KWOK and GOLDEN SPRING (NEW YORK) LTD.,

Defendants.
---------------x

Plaintiff Rui Ma (“Plaintiff”), by her undersigned attorneys, as and for her verified complaint against defendant Guo Wengui a/k/a Miles Kwok (“Defendant Kwok”), and Golden
Spring (New York) Ltd. (a/k/a Shiny Times Holding Limited, Spirit Charter Investment Limited and Beijing Pangu Investment Inc.) ("Golden Spring") respectfully alleges as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

1. Over a period of several years, Defendant Kwok carefully cultivated an image of himself as a cultured political dissident who stands up to -- and exposes the rampant corruption within -- the tyrannical government of the People''''s Republic of China (the "PRC").

2. This public persona, however, is a smokescreen, largely facilitated by Defendant Kwok''''s considerable personal wealth and prominent connections in the West.

3. In fact, this crafted fiction serves not only to satisfy tl1e ego of Defendant Kwok and those who affiliate with him; it further provides Defendant Kwok with a means to

mask the campaign of intimidation and terror he unleashes regularly upon those few of his employees, like Plaintiff, who dare not submit themselves entirely to his domination.

4. By this Complaint, Plaintiff seeks recompense from Defendant Kwok for his repeated acts of mental cruelty and sexual violence, so that Defendant Kwok -- who has fled the jurisdictions in which he could be held criminally responsible - might be held accountable in a civil forum for his wrongs.

THE:PARTIES

5. Plaintiff is a 28-year old woman who is a Chinese national and who was, at all relevant times relevant here, employed as a personal assistant to Defendant Kwok. Plaintiff swears to the accuracy of the claims set forth herein by the verification attached to this pleading.
6. Defendant Kwok is a 50-year old man, who is also a Chinese national.

7. At all relevant times, Defendant Kwok was, and remains, a New York resident living in the Sherry-Netherland Hotel in an apartment that has been valued at approximately $68 million, located at 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York.
8. Defendant Golden Spring is a Delaware Corporation affiliated with Defendant Kwok, authorized to do business in the State of New York.
9. Upon information and belief, Defendant Kwok has used, and continues to use, an alias, which he perpetuates via forged and false official travel documents in connection with his international travel, to avoid the detection of relevant authorities.

10. For exmple, on information and belief, Defendant Kwok has traveled under the

n皿 e Ho Wan Kwok and had official travel documents issued in that name, which is fictitious.
11. It has been reported that Defendant has now sought asylum in the United States, claiming that he has become "a political opponent of the Chinese regime." nytimes.com/201..-corruption-asy lum.html?_r=0
12. Upon information and belief, Defendant''''s asylum application, which will allow him to remain in the United States perhaps for years, is nothing more than a ruse to allow him to continue to avoid answering for his crimes against Plaintiff in the PRC.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE

13. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter given that Defendant Kwok is a resident of the State of New York.

14. Venue in this County is proper pursuant to CPLR 503 since Defendant Kwok is a resident of this County.
FACTS SUPPORT CLAIMS

15. Defendant Kwok is a well-known Chinese national with an estimated net worth in excess of $2 billion.

16. Defendant Kwok has fashioned a particular persona via the media, such that he is lauded by some as a courageous dissident who has, at personal risk, detailed myriad allegations of corruption at the government of the PRC.

17. Not surprisingly, Defendm1t Kwok''''s claims have resulted in a fair 皿 ount of press coverage, both locally and abroad, wherein Defendant Kwok is depicted as a whistleblower - albeit one with an indisputably checkered past rife with allegations of economic fraud. See, e.g., nytimes.com/201..sia/guo-wengui-
china-corruption-xi-jinping.html?mcubz=1.

18. By his narrative, Defendant Kwok hopes to obtain political support for a petition for asylum in the United States, where he has yet to answer any of these the grave charges of misconduct pending in his homeland.


Plaintiff Is Lured Away from her Family and Friends

19. Perhaps emboldened by the respite from his foibles in China that afforded him by the status of his New York address and the prominence of his connections in the United States, Defendant Kwok commenced building an infrastructure that would allow for him to continue conducting business.
20. To this end, Defendant Kwok established for himself a staff.


21. Plaintiff, who was then employed by one of Defendant Kwok''''s China-based affiliated entities, was told that she was to travel to New York to meet with Defendant Kwok, in connection with a process that would require that she remain in the United States for only one week.

22, This was a ruse. Unbeknownst to Plaintiff, she would not return to her home until almost three years later.


Plaintiff''''s "Employment" Commences

23. After meeting Defendant Kwok for the first time in New York, Plaintiff realized that she had taken no ordinary business trip.

24. She was advised that she had arrived to act as Defendant Kwok''''s personal assistant.

25. In this capacity, she would be required to travel with Defendant Kwok to many different countries, including the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and the Bahamas.

26. Defendant Kwok further advised Plaintiff that, given that she was now in his employ, she could not at any point return to the PRC. If she did, Defendant Kwok warned, Plaintiff would be arrested and thrown in prison, where she would be tortured.

27. To ensure that Plaintiff did not leave on her own, Defendant Kwok forcibly took away Plaintiff''''s passport, and precluded Plaintiff from accessing it.

28. Defendant Kwok further closely monitor her access telephonic and electronic means of communication, choosing when she could use her phone and laptop, and obtaining from her the passwords she used for Facebook and other applications. He further had her internet browser monitored, so that he would be aware of any "inappropriate" website activity.

29. Defendant Kwok additionally forbad Plaintiff from independently fraternizing in any way with others outside his presence. She was to have permission to call her parents;
no other contact with family or friends was permitted.

30. Plaintiff''''s isolation was exacerbated by the fact that she was not, at this time, a proficient English speaker. Accordingly, her limited opportunity to communicate with anyone while confined within Defendant Kwok''''s entourage in non-Chinese speaking countries was virtually non-existent.

31. As a result of Defendant Kwok''''s actions, almost immediately upon her arrival to the United States and at all relevant times thereafter, Plaintiff became Defendant Kwok''''s captive.


Defendant Kwok''''s Abuse Turns Physical

32. Once he had obtained physical control over her person, Defendant Kwok began in earnest his program of terror.

33. Among other things, for example, Defendant Kwok would require that Plaintiff until 2 a.m. or 4 a.m., seven days a week -- depriving her of any real opportunity to sleep.
34. When she made a mistake of any sort (whether it be defying one of Defendant Kwok''''s "rules" or simply failing to attend to a business matter to his liking), Plaintiff would be subject to obscene ridicule, where she would be called a "pig" and a "whore," about whom her parents would be ashamed.

35. This unrelenting verbal abuse was soon punctuated by acts of physical assault.


36. For example, while assisting in preparations for guests who were to arrive at Defendant Kwok''''s New York apartment, Defendant Kwok directed Plaintiff to go into the
“cinema room."

37. Once there, Defendant Kwok pulled down his pru1ts ru1d underwear, and begru1 to tear at Plaintiff''''s skirt 扣 1d tights, physically battering her in the process.

38. Plaintiff plead with Defendant Kwok and thereby narrowly avoided rape on this one occasion. Yet without her passport and in constant fear for her own safety and that of her parents (whom Defendant Kwok had threatened to harm physically if she crossed Defendant Kwok in any way), Plaintiff remained in Defendant Kwok''''s captivity.


Defendant Kwok Rapes Plaintiff

39. Not long after the incident in the cinema room, Defendant Kwok directed Plaintiff to have drinks with him.

40. Plaintiff initially objected to this, indicating to him that she did not want to drink.


41. Defendant Kwok, however, insisted - after which Plaintiff relented with the hopes of avoiding the humiliating and rage-filled outburst that she knew would occur if she did not.

42. After some time, Plaintiff excused herself and went to her bedroom to sleep, only to be awoken by Defendant Kwok, who was lying on top of her and attempting to separate her legs.

43. Plaintiff yelled at Defendant Kwok to stop, but he refused to do so. Eventually, Defendant Kwok overpowered her, and engaged in forced sexual intercourse with Plaintiff, without her consent.

44. After this violence concluded, Defendant Kwok left Plaintiff alone, bleeding in her bed.

45. Plaintiff continued to live in constant fear of Defendant Kwok thereafter, remaining awake for as long as she could muster for fear that Defendant Kwok would again enter her room.
Defendant Kwok Rapes Plaintiff for the Second Time

46. Subsequent to this rape, Defendant Kwok''''s confinement and isolation of Plaintiff continued, and while at Defendant Kwok''''s London home, Plaintiffs was raped for a second time.

47. While Plaintiff was working Defendant Kwok entered the room where she was situated and locked the door behind him.

48. He violently pulled Plaintiff from her chair, and threw Plaintiff to the floor and began to tear at her clothing.

49. Plaintiff attempted to fight off Defendant Kwok''''s attack, engaging in a sustained physical struggle.

50. Again, however, Plaintiff, however, was ultimately overpowered by Defendant Kwok, who tore at Plaintiff''''s pants and underwear.

51. Throughout this entire struggle, Plaintiff begged Defendant Kwok to stop.

52. But Defendant Kwok did not stop, and instead coldly responded that Plaintiff must stop shouting.

53. Defendant Kwok proceeded to pin Plaintiff''''s hands together with one hand, so that she could no longer resist him, and put the full weight of his body on her.

54. Defendant Kwok then proceeded to use his legs to separate Plaintiff''''s legs and again forcibly raped her.


Plaintiff Escapes Defendant Kwok''''s Captivity and Reports Defendant Kwok to the PRC Criminal Authorities

55. As a result of Defendant Kwok''''s unrelenting emotional and physical abuse, Plaintiff fell into a deep depression.

56. She began to take as a given that her abuse would continue (and worsen) no matter how much she adhered to the rules that Defendant Kwok laid out for her.

57. Plaintiff determined that she would attempt to reach out to people in ways that Defendant Kwok did not yet anticipate or could not yet control given his confiscation of her identification and passwords for social medial like Facebook and Twitter, if for no other reason than her desperate need for kindness from anotl1er human.

58. Plaintiff then created a profile on a dating web application, and, upon receiving responses, would tentatively broach the subject of her mistreatment at tl1e hands of her employer.

59. Plaintiff utilized tl1e dating application because she knew that Defendant Kwok was monitoring all other social media outlets, e.g. Facebook and Twitter, and she had virtually no other means of privately communicating with the outside world.

60. This narrow band of potential access was soon thwarted, however.


61. On information and belief, one of Defendant Kwok''''s favored employees (there were a number of females in the office that willing engaged in intercourse with him) discovered the account Plaintiff created and revealed Plaintiff''''s activities.

62. Defendant Kwok''''s anger was extreme. After demeaning her in front of her colleagues he advised her that she would be subject to extreme punishment for her actions.

63. Plaintiff, fearing for her life and the safety of her parents, Chinese nationals whom Defendant Kwok threatened were accessible to him through his vast resources and could be harmed, planned picked an appropriate time for escape.

64. Without her belongings and with very little money, Plaintiff choose her best opportunity and fled from Defendant Kwok''''s London home.

65. Upon arrival at the Chinese Embassy, she was able to communicate with an attorney in the United Kingdom, and was assured she would be protected from any retaliation Defendant Kwok might pursue if she pressed charges.


Plaintiff File Criminal Complaints in the PRC

66. Following her return home, Plaintiff issued various written statements in connection with filing a criminal action against Defendant Kwok in the PRC.

67. In those statements, Plaintiff identified physical evidence of her allegations.


68. Upon information and belief, that physical evidence is now in the custody of the PRC criminal authorities and is, in part, the basis for an arrest warrant issued by the PRC.


69. Unfortunately, notwithstanding Plaintiff''''s escape from Defendant Kwok, his campaign of intimidation has continued.

70. For example, Plaintiff''''s parent have been contacted repeatedly by individuals who, upon information and belief, are agents Defendant Kwok.

71. Defendant Kwok has also taken to his twitter account, to post photos of Plaintiff (and her parents), as well as identifying information like her address.

72. Upon information and belief, these efforts are directed at silencing Plaintiff so that Defendant Kwok might avoid answering for his wrongs.

73. Defendant Kwok''''s shocking and outrageous conduct has caused serious and lasting physical and emotional damage to Plaintiff.

74. Defendant Kwok should be held responsible for his continuing acts of confmement, assault, and battery.
