So it’s 13 years in jail and then expulsion for the country afterwards for former C-actor and top star Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu). I don’t think I’ve seen a C-star fall from this high to this low but at least it gives the impression that the Chinese government when it wants to will mete out this level of punishment even to the rich and famous. Wu Yi Fan was arrested in July 2021 so two years ago very quickly after an aspiring starlet and online personality Du Mei Zhu publicly accused him of rape which led to other revelations of sexual assault, misconduct, and the like. After his arrest he was jailed pending his charges and last year he was convicted by a Chinese court and sentenced to 13 years in jail and will be deported from China after he serves his sentence as he is a Canadian citizen. He filed an appeal and this week the higher court affirmed the original sentence.
