Billionaire entrepreneur accused of raping intern

The high-profile【备受瞩目】 head of one of China's biggest private language training companies has been accused of【因……被起诉，相关的短语：be charged with, be indictable for sth. 】 raping an intern in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the Guangzhou Daily said Thursday.

The company's legal counselor【顾问】, Yang Lin, said Song Shanmu had been on business【出差】 in Beijing but had already returned to Shenzhen on Wednesday, after the police summoned 【传唤】him.

But the police denied this was the case, and confirmed that they have issued an arrest warrant【逮捕证、通缉令】.

Song, 46, founder and President of China's Sunmoon Lifelong Education Group, is a well-known entrepreneur who often appears on TV.

The alleged victim, surnamed Luo, told local police that Song had forced her to have sex with him at his apartment in Luohu district, Shenzhen, on May 3. 

She also alleges that he took photos of her in the nude【同义naked】.

Luo, 22, is an English major at a vocational and technical school【职业技术学校】in Anhui Province. She began her internship at Sunmoon last December, but decided to leave the company last month. However, Song refused her resignation and persuaded her to stay another week until the company found a replacement for her.

Founded in Shenzhen in 1991, Sunmoon is known for its strict code of conduct【规范、行为准则】, and has over 200 branches【分公司】 over China and  branches in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The police are continuing their investigation.
