Canadian singer Kris Wu was sentenced to 13 years in prison by a Beijing court today after being found guilty of rape and other related charges.
Wu, also known as Wu Yifan, was arrested a year ago in China, where he started a solo career in 2014 after leaving the K-pop group EXO. After a criminal investigation in Chaoyang County, Wu was accused of raping three women.
According to Reuters, one of the accusers was an 18-year-old Chinese student who said Wu doused her in alcohol when she was 17 to get her and other girls under 18 to have sex with him.
“Wu Yifan molested three drunken women … in his home,” the court ruled according to Reuters.
The Canadian Embassy in Beijing did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
At the time of his incarceration last year, Wu had endorsement deals with brands such as Bulgari, Lancome, Louis Vuitton and Porsche. The companies cut ties with the singer after his arrest.
