A man in Jiangsu traded with a fallen girl for more than 20 days, causing her to become pregnant. He was later blackmailed for 20,000 yuan. How was he sentenced?

More than 20 days after the man Guo spent 4,500 yuan to have a transaction with Yang, a 17-year-old girl who lost her foot, he suddenly received a text message asking Guo to pay 20,000 yuan for abortion, nutrition and other expenses. Guo was skeptical at first, but after seeing the hospital examination form, he believed it to be true. At the same time, he was afraid that the illegal transaction would be exposed, so he transferred 20,000 yuan to the other party.

Soon after, the police captured a prostitution gang and the crime occurred. It turned out that three young people born in the 2000s, Xiao, Yang and their girlfriend Wang, organized four or five fallen women to engage in prostitution. Among them, Xiao and three others usually looked for targets on the Internet, and then introduced them to the fallen women to complete the prostitution. After illegal transactions, it will be divided proportionally.

After committing the crime, the three people used the information they had about the fallen girl to pretend to be a fallen girl, lied about being pregnant, forged hospital examination sheets, and demanded examination fees, nutrition fees and other expenses from the prostitutes.

I have to say that Guo is too stupid to even believe this kind of information. Of course, some people said that Guo had to believe it, but he did not dare not believe it, because once the other party came to the door or called the police, the loss would be even greater, so Guo could only spend money to eliminate the disaster. Is the other party's behavior fraud or extortion?

The crime of fraud refers to the act of concealing facts or fabricating the truth to defraud others of their property for the purpose of illegal possession; the crime of extortion refers to the act of extorting money from others through intimidation and threats for the purpose of illegal possession. .

Note that both the crime of fraud and the crime of extortion can use fraudulent methods, but the key difference between the two is the psychology of the victim. The crime of fraud means that the victim actively pays property after being deceived, while the crime of extortion is Victims pay based on fear.

As for this case specifically, it depends on the suspect’s specific behavior on the one hand, and Guo’s psychology on the other. If the suspect only deceives Guo about being pregnant and asks for examination fees and other expenses, and Guo believes it and actively pays the property, then it is fraud.

If the suspect lies about being pregnant and Guo does not pay the money, but chooses to call the police or go to his home, and Guo is afraid of paying the money, then it is a crime of extortion. How was it judged?

In addition, the three suspects organized four or five women to engage in prostitution and shared the proceeds in proportion. They were also suspected of organizing prostitution. According to the criminal law, anyone who organizes prostitution shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years. Therefore, several suspects need to be punished with the crime of organizing prostitution and the crime of fraud or extortion. What awaits them will be severe punishment by the law.

At the same time, although Guo is the victim of the criminal case, he is also an illegal actor because of soliciting prostitution. The Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates that those who engage in prostitution shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days. If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan.
