Prosecutors weigh sex assault charges against JD.com CEO
(CNN Business)Within 24 hours of his arrest in August on suspicion of rape in the United States, Richard Liu was released from jail and returned to China.
Charges were never filed. Now, prosecutors in Minnesota are weighing whether to bring a case against the founder of one of the world’s biggest e-commerce companies.
The decision could have global consequences. JD.com (JD), which Liu started 20 years ago, is a $30 billion company and a major player in China’s tech industry. The case also comes at a time when US-China relations remain fraught.
