Canadian-Chinese celebrity Kris Wu is facing yet another rape allegation, this time from a US-based woman.
Wu, a former member of K-pop group EXO, had last month been accused by his rumoured 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Du Meizhu of date rape and preying on underage girls. The singer had denied all allegations on Chinese social media platform Weibo, but his account has since been taken down.
According to a new report from The Straits Times, a different woman, this time from Los Angeles, has also accused Wu of rape.
The woman claimed that she had attended one of Wuâs parties, where her phone was confiscated. She alleged that pills were being passed around before she lost consciousness and was sexually assaulted.
The alleged new victim is reportedly a teenager, according to a report by TODAY. The news site also noted that Wu is believed to have assaulted over as many as 30 women under similar circumstances. He has denied those allegations.
Late last month, on July 31, Chinese police confirmed that they had detained Wu on suspicion of rape. The arrest was made âin response to relevant information reported on the internetâ, which included accusations that he had ârepeatedly deceived young women into sexual relationsâ, the Chaoyang District branch of the Beijing police force wrote on Weibo, per The New York Times.
CCTV said the case had âescalated into something larger than celebrity gossip, into a legal case and public event with massive social impact, something that demands a comprehensive investigation and clarifications by relevant departmentsâ.
The Communist Youth League added that they werenât concerned with celebrity gossip âbut about good and evil, beauty and ugliness in society, about fairness and justice in a society with rule of lawâ.
