SHANGHAI—Hundreds of people have added their names to an online petition in support of a University of Minnesota student who said she was raped last August by Richard Liu, the chief executive officer of China’s e-commerce retailer JD.com Inc.
The student, Liu Jingyao, from China, filed a civil lawsuit against JD.com’s CEO in a Minneapolis court on April 16, nearly four months after prosecutors declined to press criminal charges against him.
