Two-time tennis Grand Slam doubles winner Peng Shuai has filed charges against former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli. Reported by the Daily Mail.
According to the champion tennis player, the first time a politician forced her to have sexual intercourse ten years ago, after which they did not see each other for a long time. In 2018, Gaoli invited Shuai to play tennis with him and forced him to have sex again.
After that, the meetings, which, according to the tennis player, happened against her will, took place for three years and ended quite recently. She stressed that she has no evidence of Gaoli’s guilt in sexual assault.
Shuai made a statement on her official page on the Chinese social network Weibo, but the post was soon deleted. In addition, the social network has blocked the ability to publish posts with the names of a tennis player and a politician, as well as with the word “tennis”.
The 35-year-old Chinese woman retired in 2018. At the singles Grand Slam tournaments, she reached the semifinals. She also has two gold medals at the Asian Games.
