Legend,

Kris Wu has been in prison since 2021, after a young woman accused him of raping her.

Kris Wu, the famous Chinese-Canadian K-Pop singer, was sentenced to 13 years in prison after being found guilty of committing various sexual offenses.

A Beijing court has convicted the 32-year-old singer and actor of raping three women and gathering a crowd to take part in an orgy.

Wu was arrested last year after a college student accused him of date-raping her. Since then, 24 new victims have filed similar requests.

Beijing’s Chaoyang District Court on Friday said Wu should pay an 11-year-and-six-month sentence for raping three women in his home “while they were drunk and either didn’t know or couldn’t resist.”

He was also sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison for “gathering persons to commit adultery”, the court added.

The first to accuse him was student Du Meizhu, who last year posted on social media that she had met the Wu two years earlier, when she was 17.

She said she was invited to a party at her house, where she was forced to drink alcohol, and woke up in her bed the next day.

Wu has denied the allegations, but at least 24 other victims have accused him of abuse. He was accused of inviting women to booze-filled karaoke parties.

The singer also faces a tax evasion fine of 600 million yuan ($83 million). The official Xinhua news agency said it used a fictitious company to misrepresent its income to the world.

Wu was born in China but has Canadian citizenship. He rose to fame as a member of Korean pop group EXO in the 2010s.

He became one of China’s biggest celebrities after a solo career as a singer, actor, model and variety show judge.

After the scandal, brands such as Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, L’Oréal Men and Porsche suspended their agreements with Wu.
