MINNEAPOLIS: A woman who said she was raped by JD.com founder Richard Liu (pic) filed a lawsuit against the billionaire and his company alleging he and other wealthy Chinese executives coerced her to drink during a dinner in the hours before she was attacked.
Jingyao Liu, a student at the University of Minnesota, claims Richard forced himself on her in his vehicle after the dinner and later raped her at her apartment.Richard, founder of the Beijing-based e-commerce site JD.com, was arrested on Aug 31 in Minneapolis on suspicion of felony rape and released within hours.
Jill Brisbois, an attorney for Richard, said in a statement that based on the lack of charges and her belief that Richard is innocent “we feel strongly that this suit is without merit and will vigorously defend against it”.
