A high school student has told the Southern Metropolis Daily that she was raped by her teacher after being coerced into getting drunk at his birthday party three months ago.

Xiao Yu, 18, is a student at Shenzhen Global Digital Training School. On May 10, she and five classmates were invited by their teacher, Mr. Wei, to have dinner and go to KTV to celebrate his birthday.

While eating dinner and singing in the KTV room, the teacher encouraged his students to drink large amounts of beer and imported wine. Xiao Yu lost consciousness and was taken back to the teacher’s dormitory, where she was raped. The next morning Xiao Yu woke up naked next to her teacher, and according to Xiao, was raped again.

According to the report, most students in Wei’s class admire him and say he is a “model teacher”. Wei has been arrested but has told police that Xiao Yu, originally from Jiangxi Province, is his girlfriend. Therefore, he claims, he is not a rapist.
