I just got back from the police station, exhausted after a full day and night. What comes next will most likely be work for the lawyer and the police officers. Here is a summary of where things stand, and an overall response.
First, a recap for readers who are a little bewildered: basically, someone suddenly tagged me on Zhihu, claiming that I (Water-Fearing Grenade) had sexually harassed them using an alternate account, prompting me to take action to defend my rights.
Now to the main text.
First, in response to the misleading statements this Zhihu user-the person infringing on my reputation-has made across multiple posts, my formal reply is that this did not happen. It constitutes an attack on my character and an infringement of my reputation.
Second, my current response and basic position:
1. I have reported this to the police (the first time was that same evening, and I obtained a receipt; see image one [which you cannot see]. The second time was to submit additional evidence concerning circumstances I learned of later).
2. I have contacted a lawyer and am actively pursuing a private legal action through the legal process (see image two [which you still cannot see]).
3. I will pursue this to the end, whatever the cost, including my ongoing effort to obtain a formal, public, sincere apology without weighing the costs.
Third, I ask the person infringing on my reputation to stop doing so, to stop publishing any false or misleading information, and to offer a formal, public, sincere apology. Until I receive an apology that both my wife and I fully accept, I will not stop taking legal action.
Furthermore, I will not engage in any further unnecessary discussion with this person. Even contact regarding an out-of-court settlement will be handled by my
