While the former EXO member Kris Wu has been detained by the police in Beijing on suspicion of rape, a female foreign exchange student came forward to press charges against the singer for alleged sexual assault.
On August 10th, the new victim’s legal representative shared, “When Kris was on the LA tour a few years ago, my client attended the fan meeting held by the singer. She gave him her contact information that day, and when they met up, she was sexually assaulted.” He added the fact that his client was an underaged minor at that time.
In fact, Kris Wu did host a fan meeting in Los Angeles in 2016. Although it is unclear whether the accusation is true or not, Chinese public opinion is leaning towards A’s claim because the police currently detain the singer in Beijing on suspicion of raping minors.
In the states, if a person is prosecuted for engaging in any sexual activity with a minor who is 18 years old or younger, the person could face up to 8 years in prison with a large sum of fines. In the case of Kris, he may be sent to the US court for trial after servicing his time in China.
Although the case is still in investigation and the results are not coming out anytime soon, the local media outlets are expecting an inevitable heavy sentence for the singer.
