China Jails Chinese-Canadian Pop Star Kris Wu for 13 Years on Rape Charges

(Bloomberg) — Chinese-Canadian celebrity Kris Wu was sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges including rape, capping a scandal that helped galvanize a backlash against sexual harassment.

A Beijing court announced the verdict Friday in a Weibo statement, saying that the former Korean boy band member would be deported. It didn’t say whether Wu, who has Canadian citizenship, would be expelled before or after serving his sentence.
