A lawmaker in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, accused by a pregnant TV anchorwoman of rape and selling national assets, has been arrested, Shuangcheng City officials announced yesterday.
Sun Dejiang, a deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of a state-owned company in Shuangcheng City, abused his power, selling state-owned assets and charging fees from residents to help them forge retirement documents so they could retire early, an initial investigation by the city's Party disciplinary watchdog showed. No further details were released.
Sun was accused in November of rape by Wang Dechun, a former anchorwoman with the Shuangcheng TV channel.
Wang said Sun used a video of them having sex to force her into a long-term sexual relationship, raped her some 13 years ago when she was seven months pregnant and married, and also improperly sold public assets.
She said she made the accusations online because she feared for her safety. She is now divorced.
Local authorities said Sun was found to have "improper" sexual relations with several women, according to local news portal, www.dbw.cn, but they did not confirm Wang's account.
Wang told the Beijing Times she first met Sun in 1996 during an interview. She got drunk and had sex with Sun. Wang said that in 1999, Sun raped her when she was pregnant.
The accusations sparked a probe by the city government and Sun was sacked for "violations in handling state-owned assets" in December.
