Former Exo star Kris Wu faces 13 years sentence to jail on rape charges in China

Beijing's Chaoyang district court penned a verdict on Friday November, 25, that Kris Wu would be sentence to jail for 11 years and six months as he is found guilty of raping three women at his home in 2020 "when they were drunk and did not know or not able to resist."

A student named Du Meizhu was the first one to accuse him a year ago by sharing a post on social media, as per the reports the victim met Wu two years earlier, when she was 17.

According to the revelations made by Du she was invited to a party at Wu’s home, where she was forced to take alcohol and woke up in his bed the next day.
