Kris Wu, who had been at the center of one of China's major #MeToo cases, was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment on charges including rape.
The court’s statement detailed that Wu had assaulted three women, who were under the influence of alcohol and “unable to resist,” at his home from November to December 2020. In 2018, he colluded with others to organize “lewd activities” with two women, the court said.The statement said that Canadian embassy officials were present at the sentencing. Wu, who was born in China but moved to Canada as a child, holds Canadian citizenship.
The online firestorm began when Du Meizhu, the first woman to publicly accuse Wu of assault, detailed her allegations in an interview with NetEase, a Chinese media outlet. In the interview, Du said Wu lured her to his home and plied her with alcohol when she was 17 years old. About two dozen women came forward with allegations after Du spoke out.
