Alibaba client jailed for sexual assault

A client of the Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba has been sentenced to 18 months in jail

A Chinese court has heard details surrounding an Alibaba employee, who says she was forced to drink alcohol before being sexually assaulted by a client.

The client of the Chinese e-commerce giant has been sentenced to 18 months in jail.

Meanwhile, another senior colleague, who was involved in the rape was fired and a criminal case against him was dropped.

The woman says the events took place on a work trip. But she was let go by Alibaba for reportedly spreading falsehoods, which damaged the company’s reputation.

It’s a landmark case because many sexual assault allegations do not make it to court in China.

The case is one of the few high-profile instances of men being held accountable for sexual assault in China.

The Alibaba employee went public last year, when she believed the firm failed to take action.

Police had previously said there was not enough evidence to charge the two men. The company’s Chief Executive Daniel Zhang says the company’s handling of the incident is a “humiliation”.

A judge has ruled that Tesla’s insurance unit must face a lawsuit alleging “inflated” premiums.

The decision comes after policyholders claimed the electric car company’s insurance division overcharged them for coverage.

The lawsuit, which was filed by a group of Tesla policyholders, alleges that the premiums charged by Tesla’s insurance unit were significantly higher than market rates for similar coverage.

The plaintiffs argue that Tesla’s insurance division engaged in unfair pricing practices, leading to overpayment by policyholders.

Tesla has not yet commented on the judge’s decision, but the lawsuit raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the company’s insurance pricing.

It also highlights the growing scrutiny on how tech companies enter and compete in traditional industries like insurance.
