The latest news comes from former EXO member, Kris Wu, who was caught in a sexual harassment scandal. Kris Wu's appeal was rejected and he faces up to 13 years in prison. On Friday November 24, 2023, the Third Intermediate People's Court in Beijing upheld the initial decision of a 13 year prison sentence for Kris Wu.
The former EXO member from China was charged with rape and group promiscuity. In this way, the appeal submitted by Kris and his attorney was rejected. The court said, "Wu Yifan (real name Kris Wu) took advantage of a situation where most of the victims were under the influence of alcohol to commit sexual acts, which constitute rape."
"In addition, he organized and participated in indecent activities, making him a major perpetrator of group promiscuity." The panel of judges emphasized that the facts admitted in the initial decision for Kris Wu were clear and the evidence was also convincing.
Previously in July 2021, Kris Wu was reported to have raped 30 women, some of whom were minors. According to Chinese influencer Du Meizhu, who claimed to have been harassed by Kris Wu, he carried out his actions while the women were drunk. Kris Wu denied these accusations.
But in July 2023, he appeared in court to appeal his sentence. In the initial trial, the Beijing Chaoyang District Court sentenced Kris Wu to 11 years and 6 months in prison for rape and 1 year and 10 months in prison for immoral acts in a group.
The 33-year-old man also faces deportation from China after completing his prison sentence. Considering that Kris Wu has Canadian citizenship, he is suspected of being sentenced to chemical castration. A medical procedure in which a sex offender is given an injection of drugs or hormones to forcibly suppress sexual desire.
