The sexual assault allegations against Chris began with the revelations of Doumeijoo, who claimed to be Chris' ex-girlfriend. Alleging that Chris approached minors through a fan meeting or interview and made them drink and then had sex. He also claimed that there were more than eight victims, including himself, and that there were two minors. Chris denied this, but was later arrested by Chinese police.
