Li Tianyi: China court jails army singers' son for rape
A court in China has convicted the son of two high-profile army singers and sentenced him to 10 years in jail for rape, state media say.
The court said it had shown leniency to Li Tianyi, 17, because he was a juvenile, despite the fact he was the ringleader.
Li and four others had denied raping the woman at a Beijing hotel in February after drinks.
John Sudworth explains the significance in China of Li and his family.
