The Claim

Cai Yaqi, a well-known criminal defense lawyer, has publicly announced that she will no longer take rape cases because she cannot win them.

The Short Version

Multiple reports indicate Cai Yaqi publicly said she would stop taking rape-case defenses, describing them as effectively impossible to defend. That supports the claim’s core meaning. The main caveat is wording: available reporting more often reflects futility or inability to defend successfully than an exact quote that she simply "cannot win them."

Caveats

  • The quoted rationale is often paraphrased; "cannot win them" is a stronger formulation than some source wording.
  • Her public profile appears to combine practicing lawyer, criminal-law lecturer, and legal commentator, so labels describing her role should not be overstated.
  • The statement appears to have been made in public commentary or social media context rather than as a formal professional policy announcement.
