Eleven months after JD.com founder and Chairman Richard Liu was accused of rape by a Chinese student at the University of Minnesota, the state’s police force publicly released Wednesday materials collected during its investigation into the events of the controversial night in August that embroiled the e-commerce billionaire in a scandal.

The cache of written, audio, and video materials includes testimonies from Richard Liu, his accuser — 22-year-old Jingyao Liu — and several witnesses. It also contains surveillance video footage from the apartment building where Jingyao Liu alleges the rape took place, as well as text messages asking for help sent by Jingyao Liu to her friend.

John Elder, a spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department, told Caixin that police waited until now to release the materials because of the need to redact and legally review all of the related documents and video content before granting access to the public.

Prosecutors decided in December not to press felony charges against Richard Liu, whose name in Chinese is Liu Qiangdong. However, in April, Jingyao Liu filed a civil lawsuit in Minnesota seeking compensatory and punitive damages from the tech entrepreneur and his company.

Richard Liu’s attorney, Jill Brisbois, said in a statement to the media that the released materials proved Liu’s innocence.

Jingyao Liu told Caixin Thursday she intends to pursue the civil suit and hopes to win justice via legal channels. Her attorney, Wil Florin, told Caixin that they look forward to the court hearing and hope the judge and jury will examine “all the evidence, including what the police have not publicly released.”

In an exclusive interview with Caixin in April, Liu Jingyao said that she had “never consented” to having sex with the tycoon.

The hearing will take place in a Minnesota court on Sept. 11.
