Police let Chinese billionaire Richard Liu walk free despite claims from student that he raped her
Richard Liu was arrested on allegations of having raped a student of the University of Minnesota but was later released and allowed to go back to China.
A 21-year-old student has claimed that she was raped by Chinese billionaire Richard Liu this past August after a night of heavy drinking despite her repeated protests and pleadings. Liu, who is the founder of Beijing-based e-commerce site JD.com, was initially arrested in Minneapolis but was later released and allowed to return to his native China without having any charges filed against him.
The Daily Mail reported that the 45-year-old billionaire was in Minneapolis for a weeklong residency with the Carlson School of Management's doctor of business administration China program that he had been attending when the alleged assault unfolded.
