More barbarism in Asia: Chinese General’s Son Accused Of Rape

[^_^ 5,021]

The arrest of the son of a notable Chinese official over gang-rape charges has already sparked controversy across the nation. Now, new details have emerged that suggest the high-school aged teen may have lied about his age.

Li Tianyi is the son of one of China’s most famous military leaders, 74-year-old General Li Shuangjing. Last month, the younger Li was detained in connection with an alleged gang rape that occurred in a Beijing hotel.

Li was reportedly born in April of 1996, making him 16 years old and a minor -- which would mean that if convicted, he would face a more lenient sentence. But according to evidence obtained by the South China Morning Post, Li is much older.

None of his classmates that were interviewed could confirm the boy's age, but they did recall his behavior.

“He liked to hang out with the naughty boys in the class,” a classmate mentioned.
