Breast-groping disgraced China professor fired after PhD student exposes him as sexual predator
- Police in Beijing launch probe into liberal arts professor who demanded sex from student, blocked her graduation when she rejected him
A professor at the prestigious Renmin University of China has been dismissed after one of his PhD students exposed him online as a sexual predator.
Wang Guiyuan, 65, a professor at the School of Liberal Arts, was accused online of sexually harassing his student, Wang Di, and threatening to block her graduation after she firmly rejected his advances.
On July 21, Wang posted a one-hour-long video with herself holding her ID card to report her tutor’s behaviour, backed up by evidence such as voice recordings.
Wang said she was forced to expose the academic because he made her work 18 hours a day doing his chores, and left her with no time to work on her own graduation dissertation, which was due in December.
At one point, Wang said, she begged the academic to let her graduate and received a chilling response.
