BEIJING, July 31 — Chinese-Canadian pop idol Kris Wu has been detained on suspicion of rape, Beijing police said today.
“Wu Yifan, 30, Canadian nationality, is now criminally detained in accordance with the law by Chaoyang branch of Beijing public security bureau on suspicion of rape,” police in Beijing’s Chaoyang district said in a Weibo statement, using Wu’s Chinese name. The scandal evokes China’s #MeToo movement sparked by Chinese feminists in 2018, where women were empowered to voice their experiences of sexual harassment — sometimes involving powerful public figures.
Since Du’s accusations, more alleged victims have spoken out online, accusing Wu’s staff of predatory behaviour such as inviting them to boozy karaoke parties with the star.
