A court in Beijing on Friday sentenced Chinese-born Canadian musician Kris Wu<\/a> to over 13 years for crimes including rape.<\/p>\n The rapper and singer was detained and charged by the Chinese authorities<\/a> in July 2021, following a series of sexual harassment allegations from internet celebrities and underage girls.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chaoyang district court found Wu, also known as Wu Yifan, guilty of raping three women in November and December 2020, according to the court\u2019s official Weibo account. The women were \u201cintoxicated and defenseless\u201d when the incidents occurred, it added.<\/p>\n Wu, 32, made his Hollywood<\/a> debut in the sci-fi film \u201cXXX: Return of Xander Cage\u201d in 2017. He was previously also a member of the K-pop group EXO.

Being charged for group licentiousness can result in a jail sentence of up to five years. Punishment for cases involving minors can be higher.<\/p>\n The pop star\u2019s conviction has sparked energetic conversation on Weibo, a Chinese social media app, where many netizens applauded the verdict. Some also said that they were \u201cwitnessing history\u201d as Kris Wu is the first idol in China<\/a> to be imprisoned for as long as 13 years.<\/p>\n Wu is one of 88 celebrities who was blacklisted in China for \u201cillegal and immoral activities\u201d in November, according to the China Association Of Performing Arts.
