Alibaba fires employee accused of sexual assault as pressure mounts on Chinese tech
CNN
A sexual assault scandal has rocked Alibaba and led to departures at the Chinese e-commerce giant.
The company on Monday said it has fired an employee after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman who also works at Alibaba (BABA). The man confessed to actions that Alibaba deemed "in serious violation of company policy," according to a memo sent by Alibaba Group chairman and CEO Daniel Zhang to employees. Two senior employees also resigned after they "failed to prioritize employee protection," according to Zhang's memo.More Related News
