Li鈥檚 rape appeal rejected
Print Edition
An appeal against a rape conviction by the teenage son of a Chinese general has been rejected, court authorities said yesterday, after a case that highlighted the extravagant lifestyles of China’s elite.
Li Tianyi, the 17-year-old son of famous military singer Li Shuangjiang, was sentenced to 10 years in jail in September for his involvement in the gang rape of a woman in a Beijing hotel in February.
Four other males were found guilty of the crime, which led to a huge public outcry and heated controversy.
Li lodged an appeal through his lawyer on October 10 to the Beijing Municipal No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court.
The intermediate court has “affirmed the original sentence,” the court said on its verified account on Sina Weibo.
Li’s father Li Shuangjiang, 74, holds a rank equivalent to general in China’s military as dean of the music department for the army’s Academy of Arts, and is known for singing patriotic songs.
Li Tianyi had triggered controversy in 2011 after he and another teenager, both driving expensive cars, attacked a couple who reportedly blocked their passage, while the victims’ child looked on.
