The teenage son of a famous Chinese military singer was sentenced to 10 years for rape on Thursday.
Li Tianyi, 17, raped a woman surnamed Yang in a hotel with four others after getting drunk in a bar on Feb 20, according to Beijing Haidian District People’s Court.
The other four received sentences from three years with probation to 12 years in prison.
The convict's father is Li Shuangjiang, a well–known PLA artist, while his mother, Meng Ge, was also a singer with the army.
The case has captured the public’s attention since February, while Meng claimed her son was innocent.
