In a shocking turn of events, a 29-year-old man from Nevada, who had been subjected to sexual abuse as a child, took matters into his own hands in a courtroom. The man, identified only as Fu for privacy reasons, knocked out his tormentor after the latter received a sentence that included no jail time.
The abuser, 80-year-old Richard Gross, was in a Clark County district courtroom for his sentencing on October 2nd. Despite pleading guilty to one felony count of attempted lewdness with a child under the age of 14, Gross was given a suspended sentence by the presiding judge. This meant that he would remain a free man unless he violated the terms of his probation.

Fu, who had suffered at the hands of Gross from the ages of eight to fifteen, played a crucial role in securing the conviction by testifying against him. However, when the judge handed down a lenient sentence, Fu decided to take action. Rising from his seat, he delivered a punch so powerful that Gross fell to the floor and lost consciousness.
Following the incident, Gross was taken to a hospital for treatment. His wife later claimed that his glasses were also broken during the altercation. Meanwhile, Fu was immediately taken into custody and arrested for misdemeanor battery.

In an interview with 8 News Now, Fu expressed his anger and disbelief at the court’s decision. He questioned how a child predator could walk free after committing such heinous crimes. He also stated that Gross’s actions should be punishable by even death.
In 2019, Fu reported his abuse to the police after his wife showed him a news article about sexual abuse. This led to Gross being indicted on 26 charges. In 2021, Fu filed a lawsuit against Gross and his wife, stating that the abuse occurred in Gross’s home, his pickup truck, and during a camping trip.
Fu’s actions have sparked a conversation about the justice system’s handling of sexual abuse cases. He has urged other victims to speak out against their abusers and has emphasized the importance of not tolerating such crimes. Despite facing a lawsuit from Gross for battery, Fu remains steadfast in his fight for justice, launching a GoFundMe campaign to cover his legal expenses.
In conclusion, this case serves as a stark reminder of the need for stricter penalties for sexual offenders. It also highlights the courage of victims like Fu, who despite the trauma they’ve endured, continue to fight for justice and encourage others to do the same.
