China general's son gets prison term for rape
A court in China has sentenced
the teenage son of a Chinese general to 10 years in jail for rape, authorities
said. Li Tianyi, 17, and four other men were found guilty on Thursday of raping
a woman in a Beijing hotel in February, Beijing court authorities said on
a verified social media account. Li's father Li Shuangjiang, a military singer,
holds a rank equivalent to general in China's army. The court did not
state clearly how Li had pleaded during his trial last month. During the
hearings, the Beijing News reported
that he "did not admit to the sexual assault and did not admit to a
relationship, saying he was drunk and did not know anything" about
what happened. Li Tianyi had previously 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. His father is dean of the music department for the Chinese army's Academy of Arts, and is known for singing patriotic songs.
His mother, Meng Ge, is also a prominent singer.
