[Pannchoa] If proven true, Kris Wu could receive the maximum sentence of death penalty for raping a minor in China

[Mom]

I just keep thinking about the age of consent in the PRC, and the fact that he “allegedly” won’t hire anyone born before 2000. 
 

With Chinese law in mind, the destruction of his career should be the least of his concerns, because this shit just got deadly serious.

I'm legitimately asking this but is there any way for him to bypass the repercussions should he be ruled as guilty?

Is he still a Canadian citizen? Assuming he still is, and assuming they give him the maximum penalty, I could see him trying to get back there. They won’t send him back to be executed. But that’s assuming he can leave, and if Canada lets him in. 
 

Otherwise, in terms of repercussions? I could see some shady dealings to avoid the ultimate penalty. But he won’t go unpunished if he’s found guilty, he’s too high profile. That, too, might save him from the maximum penalty.

I was talking with a moot of mine who has the "knowledge" of these things and apparently china doesn't allow double citizenship so either he hasn't given up his canadian citizenship or he's dead, literally. I think it's the first option, so he will most likely run to canada.

The thing about sex crimes in western jurisprudence is that unless you’ve raped someone, or multiple people, murdered them and eaten them — you’re generally not executed for them. You just go to prison — and assuming that it looks like he’ll face legal repercussions, or arrest, he would be fucking foolish not to leave China and get as far away from it as possible. 
 

If he’s a Canadian national, that’s the best way to escape the prospect of death.

Is that saying that he shouldn’t have repercussions if he gets out? No. But as a strict hypothetical, it’s his best bet.

honestly, I'm shocked. 

 

 

Kris only holds a Canadian citizenship, so he's in China on a working visa.

I expect that will be the way he goes if this plays out. Even if he doesn’t get the book thrown at him, and even if he emerges from this, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him deported.

Either way, his career is over.
