A man has confessed to defrauding Kris Wu over a teenager’s accusation he had sex with her when she was drunk, Beijing police said.
The man talked Wu’s mother into sending the woman 500,000 yuan and then, pretending to be Wu’s lawyer, tried to persuade the woman to send the money to him, the statement said. It said he tried unsuccessfully to obtain an additional 2.5 million yuan from the family.
The woman had been quoted by the internet portal NetEase as saying Wu encouraged her to drink too much at a party in December and she woke up in his bed. In a statement on his social media account, Wu said he met the woman but denied encouraging her to drink and said other parts of her account didn’t happen.
Police are investigating allegations Wu “repeatedly deceived young women into sexual relations,” the police statement said.Brands cut ties with Wu the day after the NetEase report, reflecting their sensitivity to public opinion after the ruling Communist Party stirred up anger at shoe and clothing brands in retaliation for Western reports of human rights abuses in the mostly Muslim region of Xinjiang in the northwest.
