A Beijing court on Friday sentenced Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu to 13 years in prison after convicting him of crimes including rape.
Chaoyang District Court in Beijing said investigations showed that from November to December 2020, the man, also known as Wu Yifan, raped three women.
He was also convicted of gathering a crowd to engage in sexual promiscuity in July 2018, according to the court’s official WeChat account.
The court also said Wu would be deported, although lawyers in China have said deportations usually take place after a defendant has completed their sentence.
Wu was arrested in Beijing on July 31 last year after an 18-year-old Chinese student publicly accused him of inciting her and other girls, some under 18, to have sex with him.
Officials from the Canadian embassy in Beijing witnessed the sentencing, according to state media
