Ms X's lawyers issued a statement condemning Tang for publicly discrediting the victim and undermining her criminal complaint.

- April 6, 2020: Case Terminated with Any Explanation to Ms X
The Department of Justice inform lawyers that Ms Xās case will not be taken any further, claiming that her complaint was contrary to the evidences that they obtained. No details were provided about this claim to the lawyers.

- May 13, 2020: Justice Denied?
Ms X released a statement via her lawyers condemning the police for their lack of professionalism and doubting the outcome of the so-called investigation.

While Ms X had been compling and abiding to every process and regulation, she expressed her disappointment and frustration: "I prayed and hoped that the complaint would be investigated impartially, in strict confidence and respect for my privacy and dignity, but none of that happened".
