She said some were minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 24 more women have since come forward alleging inappropriate behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wu has denied plying Ms Du with alcohol, and also rejected other allegations that he had enticed girls to have sex in return for benefits, raped girls while they were unconscious, and had sex with minors. Under Chinese law, under-18s are considered minors, while the age of sexual consent is 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was no \u2018groupie sex\u2019! There was no \u2018underage\u2019!\u2019 he wrote on his social media account after the allegations were made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf there were this kind of thing, please everyone relax, I would put myself in jail!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His lawyers are suing Ms Du for defamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident comes as awareness of gender-based violence in China has grown, sparked by the #MeToo movement in 2018, where women voiced their experiences of sexual harassment, sometimes involving high-profile figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wu first shot to fame as a member of the K-pop boyband EXO. He left in 2014 to launch a successful solo career as a singer, actor, model and talent show judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-china-58042353\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu has been arrested on suspicion of rape.
